The spring of energy saving industry

March 5th, Premier Wen Jiabao put forward in the people's Congress of the people's government work report, expected in 2006 National Economic and social development are: GDP growth of around 8%, the unit GDP energy consumption decreased by about 4%. This is the first time that the energy consumption index has become the target of China's macro control with economic growth, price, employment and international balance of payments.

The government is determined to make a new measure of energy consumption

NPC and CPPCC this year's government work report, Premier Wen Jiabao made clear in the energy consumption index at the same time, emphasis on energy conservation into the economic and social development evaluation system, from 2006 onwards, the annual energy will be released per unit of output for all regions and major industries and energy consumption, implement supervision. Wen Jiabao further pointed out that the comprehensive use of various means to promote conservation and rational use of resources, encourage the development of energy-saving products and energy-efficient construction in the province, and vigorously promote consumption as the focus of the upgrading of equipment and technology in energy saving.

An interview with Xinhua News Agency reported that the energy consumption per unit of GDP is an important indicator of energy economics, but it rose to an important position in economic policy, which is rare in the world. Obviously, energy consumption indicators and economic growth targets in the same breath, means that the government will put the center of economic development in the adjustment of economic structure, change the growth path of the track.

Followed by the Guangdong government in response to the call of the government, clearly put forward the "hard to build a resource-saving society in 11th Five-Year" in the plan: yuan GDP energy consumption decreased by 13% (GDP), which in 2006 to reduce 3%. This set of data is also a show of Guangdong in accelerating industrial restructuring, the determination of building a resource-saving society. It can be expected that, in order to achieve economic growth and reduce energy consumption targets, a series of supporting measures and related policies will soon be formally introduced.

Energy industry spring coming?

Energy plays an important strategic role in the national economy. At present, China's energy supply and demand contradiction is sharp, there are serious energy waste, low utilization rate. Statistics show that China's production of 1 U.S. dollars of GDP energy consumption is about 11.5 times that of Japan, France and Germany, more than 7.7 times that of the United States more than 4 times. In accordance with the current energy saving technology, only on a power-saving terms, the annual market potential of at least 80 billion yuan. This shows that China has great potential in energy conservation and consumption reduction, coupled with the government's strong advocacy and implementation, the energy industry manufacturers seem to have sufficient reason to rejoice in the upcoming spring.

However, this huge cake is not good to share, only from the government "push" power is not enough, from the market perspective, consumers and enterprises and demand is the direct impetus to the development of energy industry. In front of the reality is that the general public on the construction of a conservation oriented society, to participate in energy conservation projects do not have enough understanding. Building electrical appliance manufacturer Lonon had a professional energy-saving lighting market survey showed that nearly 60% of consumers do not understand the real difference between energy-saving lamp and incandescent lamp, energy-saving lamp can only vaguely say power than incandescent lamp. According to Lonon group, an energy-saving lighting R & D personnel, a qualified energy-saving lamp is an incandescent lamp 5 to 7 times, the life of incandescent lamp is about 5 times. But consumers do not understand the basic knowledge of energy conservation.

In addition, as a major force in energy conservation, many companies have not realized that saving is income". The cost of electricity is one of the four biggest costs of the business, and for most businesses, the electricity bill is the last cost that has not been controlled.

It is worth emphasizing that the internal standardization of the operation of the energy industry is not standardized, but also restricts the development of energy-saving industry. At present, the market is mixed, but the real size of the formation of the scale and brand, with technical strength is not much. Unqualified products into the market, seriously dampened the enthusiasm of consumers. On the other hand, the energy industry has not formed a mature calculation of energy saving technology, energy saving ratio measurement standard manufacturers implementation is not uniform, it is difficult for consumers to feel such benefits directly, the promotion of energy-saving industry is hindered.

Technology is the biggest constraint

Since last year, the highest frequency in Chinese social construction is "innovation" and "harmony". In fact, many industries are the core technology Chinese heteronomy situation, so in such industries, energy-saving technological backwardness has become one of the biggest constraints to promote energy saving work.

First of all, energy-saving facilities and products of energy efficiency standards should be unified. Currently on the market a large number of energy-saving products, including energy-saving technology or high or low, but not a strict set of energy-saving standards to measure. Loss of energy efficiency standards, energy saving products become blurred boundaries, so that many of the signs of energy saving enterprises from the loopholes drilled. Secondly, the lack of energy saving technology also allows the promotion of energy-saving facilities and products lose some convincing. The so-called energy-saving into a slogan of the manufacturers, consumers can not get the trust.

To change this situation, on the one hand, need government support, providing policy and funding support for energy-saving technological transformation of enterprises, accelerate the development of energy-saving standards, development of the use of market economy lever to encourage energy-saving products; on the other hand, energy saving
