Contract energy management into new ways of energy saving and emission reduction

"The contract energy management mechanism can not only become a new point of economic growth, but also can achieve better technological innovation and stimulate the development of upstream and downstream industries." Dai Yande, deputy director of the Energy Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that market-based energy management contract, The new energy-saving project investment mechanism can be listed as the first of the country's emerging strategic industries, indicating that the country's emphasis on the market mechanism of contract energy management is increasing, and it is also an important issue for China to accelerate the construction of ecological civilization.

Under the huge energy demand, energy conservation services have become increasingly important as an effective solution to ensure energy supply and reduce energy consumption. At the recent annual meeting of the China Energy Conservation Association Energy Conservation Service Industry Committee (EMCA), Wu Dahong, Director of EMCA, pointed out that in recent years, the continued support of national policies has injected vitality into the development of energy-saving service industries, and energy-using units have adopted contract energy management methods. The enthusiasm for energy-saving reforms has been continuously enhanced, and the development of energy-saving service companies has entered a golden opportunity period.

Opportunities are manifested in the changes in market demand.

On the one hand, energy-using companies have shifted from previous “expansion and efficiency enhancement” to more emphasis on corporate survival, savings, and efficiency; energy-saving initiatives and urgency have increased significantly; on the other hand, due to the shortage of funding for energy-using enterprises. The use of its own funds to carry out energy-saving projects is constrained, and it also provides opportunities for contract energy management projects to enter into the market.

The energy-saving service industry is increasingly active The domestic energy-saving service companies are springing up. At the EMCA meeting, it was reported that Tianhao Energy Saving Technology Co., Ltd. has successfully listed on the contract with energy management. Representatives of more than ten energy-saving service companies, including Beijing Yiyida Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Yuanshen Energy Saving Technology Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Longchuang Automation System Co., Ltd., disclosed that the rapid development of the company and its business capital have been remarkable in the past two years. Promote.

Zhao Ming, Deputy Director-General of EMCA, is also full of confidence in the development of related industries. She said that in recent years, the scale of energy-saving service industries has grown, the number of energy-saving service companies has increased, and the amount of contract energy management projects has continued to increase.

Preferential policy implementation suffered "accidental"

The Chinese government has paid great attention to the "contract energy management" mechanism. Many important government documents have explicitly proposed to promote "contract energy management" as an important measure to promote energy conservation in China. The "Special Energy Conservation Medium and Long-Term Plan" approved by the State Council and the "Decision of the State Council on Strengthening Energy Conservation Work" also clearly stated that the implementation of contract energy management should be accelerated and the energy-saving technological transformation of enterprises should be promoted.

By 2015, a relatively complete energy-saving service system will be established, making contract energy management one of the main ways for energy-using units to implement energy-saving transformation.

Support for fiscal and taxation has also been spared. In 2010, the State increased its support for contract energy management. It not only incorporated contract energy management into the scope of central government support, but also issued five nationally applicable fiscal fund management policies. According to the policy, after receiving the records of the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission, energy-saving service companies can apply for financial incentives and tax incentives from the local government.

However, due to the various preferential policies introduced throughout the country, there were some “little accidents” in the implementation process. This situation is particularly common in the same area where owners and service companies are different. In the interview, an executive who worked for an energy conservation company reported to the reporter that since the company provided services in other places and did not understand the differences in various local policies, the owners who had not applied for rewards were rewarded, and energy-saving services were provided. Companies can't enjoy rewards. The executive said that the contract management market started late and it was a matter of crossing the river. It is believed that with the gradual standardization and improvement of the contract energy management market, such incidents will not happen again.
