Policy support to actively promote the development of energy-saving lighting products

The energy saving target of our country during the period of 11th Five-Year is to reduce the energy consumption per unit of GDP by 20%. Lighting as an important part of the whole social energy consumption, will promote the use of fiscal subsidies to promote efficient lighting products 150 million, and gradually replace incandescent and other inefficient lighting products. China is a major producer and consumer of lighting products. Therefore, China has introduced relevant policies to promote energy-saving lighting products.

By the end of 2007, the Ministry of Finance and the national development and Reform Commission issued the "efficient lighting products to promote financial subsidies Interim Measures for the management of funds," by the central government to set up special funds to support the promotion of efficient lighting products. Is mainly self ballasted fluorescent lamps, three color double end straight fluorescent lamps for general lighting (T8, T5) and metal halide lamp, high-pressure sodium lamp, electric light source products, semiconductors (LED) lighting products, as well as supporting the necessary ballast. 2008, China's first batch of financial subsidies efficient lighting products launched more than 60 million energy-saving lamps, more than the original target of more than 24%. 2009 financial subsidies to promote energy-saving lamps will reach 120 million.

July 24th, the national development and Reform Commission and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the global environment fund (GEF) cooperation, China gradually eliminate incandescent lamps, accelerate the promotion of energy-saving lamps project signing ceremony held in Beijing. Marking the international cooperation in China's green lighting into a new stage. In October 12th, the national development and Reform Commission and other 6 departments jointly announced the "semiconductor lighting industry development opinions", the views put forward, to 2015, the output value of the semiconductor lighting industry with an average annual growth rate of about 30%; enterprises significantly enhance the capability of independent innovation of large MOCVD equipment, the key raw material and more than 70% of the chip to achieve localization, the upstream chip scale production enterprises 3 - 5; industrial concentration increased significantly, leading backbone enterprises with independent brands, large market influence about 10.

Energy efficient lighting as a member of the product, has been a good policy support and advocacy, national subsidies to promote energy-saving lamps are now being launched throughout the country in an orderly manner. More and more recognized by consumers. The central finance and local finance for energy-saving lamps subsidies, greatly reduced the residents to buy energy-saving lamps of price promotion, which not only accelerate energy-saving lamps throughout the country at the same time, the positive role for the realization of "11th Five-Year" energy-saving emission reduction targets up.
