"Twelfth Five-Year": Contract energy management will enter the fast lane

On December 14th, the Central Economic Work Conference was held as scheduled. “Efforts to strengthen energy-saving and emission-reduction work, strict target responsibility and management, improvement of evaluation and evaluation mechanisms, rewards and penalties, strengthening guidance on energy-saving and emission-reduction policies, and accelerating the establishment of energy-saving emission reduction mechanisms” will become next year. One of the main tasks of economic work.

In response, Wu Daohong, director of the Energy Conservation Service Industry Committee of the China Energy Conservation Association, told reporters that contract energy management will become a new opportunity for energy conservation and emission reduction during the 12th Five-Year Plan period.

Industrial energy conservation situation is severe According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, China’s industrial added value energy consumption has decreased by 26%, with an average annual decrease of 5.8%, and energy savings have reached 750 million tons of standard coal, with an average annual energy consumption of 6.98%. Growth has supported 11.57% annual industrial growth.

However, judging from the proportion of industrial energy consumption and high energy-consuming industries, the situation is not optimistic. At the "2011 China Energy Conservation and Low Carbon Development Forum" sponsored by the China Energy Conservation Association, Su Bo, the vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, disclosed a set of data: During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, industrial energy consumption accounted for the proportion of the entire society’s energy consumption. From 70.9% in 2005 to about 73% in 2010, the energy consumption of the six high-energy-consuming industries accounted for about 71% of total energy consumption in the industry from around 71% in 2005 to around 77%.

The data provided by Su Bo once again confirmed the seriousness of the work of energy conservation and emission reduction. Su Bo said that in the future, the country will further improve the access threshold for heavy chemical industry in terms of energy consumption, environmental protection, and comprehensive utilization of resources, strictly implement the energy conservation assessment and review system for industrial investment projects, and strengthen the management of construction projects with overcapacity industries; strictly control The new capacity of industries with excess capacity such as steel, cement, and flat glass will curb the blind development of high-energy-consuming and high-pollution industries such as traditional coal chemical industries.

At present, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is studying and proposing the specific operational methods for defining the obsolete energy consumption and clean production standards as the main basis for the backward production capacity. According to the needs of pollution prevention and control work, the industry that has eliminated backward production capacity will be gradually increased and the “12th Five-Year Plan” key industries will be formulated. Eliminating the backward production capacity target and issuing an annual plan to eliminate backward production capacity. If the local government fails to achieve the goal of eliminating backward production capacity, it will be subject to regional limited approval.

According to Su Bo, after negotiating with related departments, it was finally determined that the energy consumption per unit of industrial added value in the next five years would be reduced by about 21% compared with 2010. This energy saving target may gradually be broken down into various industries.

In this regard, Wu Daohong believes that during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, the relationship between industrial development and energy-saving goals will become increasingly tense. To expand and strengthen energy-saving service industries and implement contract energy management will be the only way for future industrial development.

Policies for Contract Energy Management The so-called “contract energy management” is an energy-saving investment method that uses reduced energy costs to pay for all investments in energy-saving projects. This method allows customers to use future energy-saving benefits to implement energy-saving projects. Customers sign energy-saving service contracts with energy-saving service companies. Energy-saving service companies provide customers with a full range of energy auditing, equipment investment, equipment selection and installation, and operation and maintenance. One-stop service.

Wu Daohong introduced media such as China United Commercial Daily in the “Press Conference for the 2011 Annual Summit of the China Energy Service Industry”. Since 2010, the country has successively issued various policies and measures to encourage energy management in contracts. In April 2010, the State Council issued preferential policies such as financial subsidies and tax reductions and exemptions; at the end of 2010, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation issued the “Circular on Promotion of Value-added Tax, Business Tax, and Corporate Income Tax Policies on Energy-Saving Service Industries”. Energy-saving service companies engaged in energy-saving emission reduction projects will be granted business tax, value-added tax and corporate income tax tax relief preferential policy support.

In September 2011, the State Council promulgated the "12th Five-Year Plan for Energy-saving and Emission-reduction Comprehensive Work Plan," which clarified the purpose and promotion method of energy conservation and emission reduction in the next five years in China. Article 43 clearly states: "Accelerate the implementation of The contract energy management, the implementation of fiscal, taxation and financial support policies to guide the professional energy-saving service companies use contract energy management methods for energy-using units to implement energy-saving transformation, support and strengthening of energy-saving service industries."

Wu Daohong said that this is the first time that the contract energy management mechanism has been written into the "program" since it was introduced into China in the 1990s. On the one hand, it shows that the state attaches great importance to energy conservation and emission reduction. On the other hand, it shows that the contract energy management mechanism is for China's energy conservation. The development of emission reduction has indeed played a catalytic role.

It is reported that as a national trade association for promoting contract energy management mechanisms, the Energy Conservation Service Industry Committee of the China Energy Conservation Association assisted the relevant energy conservation authorities in conducting investigations and studies and supported a number of energy conservation service companies to become bigger and stronger. According to incomplete statistics, at least 30 energy-saving service companies have been successfully listed; through holding various forums, services, and training, a win-win situation has emerged in the industry. Up to now, the number of energy-saving service companies registered by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance has reached 1,734, and the application for the fourth batch of record-based energy-saving service companies has ended, and related audit work is ongoing.

The executive level faces difficulties. With the strengthening of policy support, China's energy-saving service industry is constantly becoming bigger and stronger. “The number of domestic energy-saving service companies will double in 2011.” Wu Daohong, director of the Energy Conservation Service Industry Committee of the China Energy Conservation Association predicts that during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, the number of energy-saving service companies in China will increase from 782 to 2,500, and the energy-saving service industry will achieve The total output value is 300 billion yuan.

Obviously, under the current severe energy environment situation, "contract energy management" has become one of the major topics of concern for the business community. However, some people in the industry questioned the question: As a new type of market-oriented energy-saving mechanism proved by experience in developed countries and regions, “contract energy management” is still a new thing in China. Can it be successfully implemented?

In response, Liu Yutian, chief engineer of the Hebei Energy Conservation Association, told reporters that since the country introduced the relevant tax relief policy, Hebei Province subsequently issued a document notice accordingly, but once the implementation of the contract energy management tax policy, it means that The government’s fiscal revenue will decrease.

Liu Yutian stated that since the country has not introduced specific operational rules, the support policies for contract energy management are basically in a “vacuum” state.

“The energy-saving effect must meet or exceed a certain expected target, and we can recognize the work of energy-saving service companies so that energy-saving service companies can enjoy some energy-saving benefits.” A person in charge of an energy-saving service company that did not wish to be named said “China’s United Business” Frankly speaking, it is crucial for corporate customers that energy-conservation measures with credibility are available.
