LED street lamp EMC model facing confusion

According to the characteristics of "contract energy management model, a comprehensive analysis of the LED street in the implementation of the" contract model in the process of energy management confusion, put forward the government play the leading role, is the fundamental way to implement LED street "ten city lights" project.

As a big energy consuming country, China's energy consumption per unit of GDP is 3 times higher than that of the advanced countries, and the energy consumption per unit of production is higher than that of the developed countries by 50% to 100%. China is undergoing a period of transition from planned economy to market economy transformation, and energy saving management system of planned economy can not adapt to the new situation, therefore, it is necessary to introduce energy-saving work and the promotion of a new mechanism for energy saving investment and service integration based on market mechanism, energy management contract.

LED street lamp energy management contract mode analysis

Energy management contract (EnergyManagementContracting, EMC) is a new energy conservation mechanism of last century 70s the rise in the developed countries, it is through the signing of such service contracts with customers, provide energy services including energy audit, project design, project financing, equipment procurement, construction, equipment installation and commissioning, personnel training, energy saving confirm and guarantee a set for customers, and a commercial operation mode of energy saving benefit after the transformation in the recovery of investment and profit from customers. Its essence is to reduce energy costs to pay the full cost of energy saving projects. This energy saving approach allows users to use future energy savings for plant and equipment upgrades, reduce current operating costs, improve energy efficiency.

This model has the following characteristics: one is the energy consumption of enterprises do not have funds to complete the energy-saving technological transformation, the so-called "zero investment"; two is EMC for technical risk and economic risk, energy consumption enterprises paid the sum of EMC from all the benefits of the project of energy saving, the user "zero risk"; the three is the end of the contract all subsequent, energy-saving equipment and energy-saving benefit to energy consumption enterprises.

LED street lamp energy management contract mode confusion

The energy management contract extension flat barriers of non market factors in the promotion of energy conservation in a large extent, the parties involved in a win-win situation, is indeed a new mechanism and model of effective energy saving investment, rapid promotion in the market mechanism and become the mainstream mode of investment, energy saving. But it is still in our country in the economic transition, especially in the field of municipal lighting transformation LED street lamp, because stakeholders lack sufficient power, product replacement fast, industry credit environment and many other issues, the current is faced with "good but no surprise", "thunder rain" situation, let LED street the energy management contract way difficult.

Based on a win-win basis for contract energy management, why in the country has done little? A good thing, if you can not promote bigger, then there must be a reason: either we do not understand the EMC model, or there is a mechanism barrier. Contract energy management is not a new thing in China, but its development in the country seems to be only "looks very beautiful". Through extensive investigation and analysis of the market, we found that there are some limitations in the implementation of the "contract energy management" model of LED street lamp.

Many municipal departments of LED street light energy saving concept deviation, although the LED street lamp energy saving potential is very large, but the energy costs and more spending "does not matter". When the "free energy" encounter "not bad money", is like a hot sided affair, the contract of energy service companies will be difficult to expand the market.

After calculation, contract energy service companies to recover costs, should be divided into 70%, which is also an international practice. But a lot of government departments, the presence of the South sit mentality, just to show a strong position, not to be accounted for in the bulk, so that the win-win has become an empty talk. Government agencies, public institutions, the financial management system for LED street lamp energy saving projects also have policy barriers. For example, a local municipal agency Street annual electricity 1 million yuan, after the introduction of LED street reconstruction dropped to 200 thousand yuan, but according to the government departments accountable financial system, it cannot be successfully saved 800 thousand yuan energy efficiency share out with LED street enterprises. As a result, not only can not be recycled LED street enterprise investment, and these municipal units did not have the initiative to introduce LED street lamps.
