State Council today issued the strategic action plan for energy development (2014-2020) of the plan, optimize the economic structure, transform energy consumption concept, strengthen the industry, transportation, building energy efficiency and demand side management, life energy, strictly control rapid increase in total energy consumption, effectively reversing the extensive use of energy, improving energy efficiency.


1. strictly control excessive growth of energy consumption.


In accordance with the principle of differentiation, combined with regional and industry characteristics, strictly control excessive growth of energy consumption and transforming the pattern of energy development and use.


Implementation of the "one cluster of dual-control" measures. Will be linked to energy consumption and economic growth, imposed on high energy-consuming industries and industries with excess capacity in total energy consumption control constraint, other industries as advanced energy efficiency standards for a hard constraint, existing capacity in energy efficiency within a standard, new capacity must conform to advanced energy-efficiency standards.


Implementation of regional differences in energy policy. In energy resource-rich western regions, according to the water resources and eco-environment bearing capacity, on the premise of saving water energy conservation and environmental protection, advanced technology, reasonable increase efforts to develop energy, enhance spanned out. Reasonable control of energy development in the central region. To optimize energy structure in the eastern part, encourages the development of new and renewable sources of energy that is competitive.


Control total coal consumption. Long-term target in the national total coal consumption, the implementation of reduced coal consumption volume replacement, reduced coal consumption.


2. to implement energy-efficiency plans.


Give high priority to energy conservation, with a focus on industry, construction and transportation areas, innovation and development, formation of energy-efficient production and consumption patterns.


Implementation of coal upgrading plan of action. Revamping project of implementation of energy-saving upgrades of older coal-fired power units, serving 600,000-kilowatt (except for air-cooled units) units strive for 5 years and above net coal consumption drop to about 300 grams of standard coal per kilowatt hour.


Industrial energy efficiency action plan. Strictly limit excess industrial expansion and high energy-consuming industries, speed up the Elimination of backward production capacity, the implementation of the ten major energy conservation projects, carry out home energy saving action to reduce carbon emissions. Implementation of key energy-using equipment, such as motors, internal combustion engines, boilers energy-efficiency plans, waste heat and pressure by the use of industrial enterprises. Industrial areas of demand side management in depth and actively develop high efficiency boiler and high efficiency motors, drive end with product energy-efficiency and benchmarking on key energy industry energy efficiency standards. Seriously carry out environmental impact assessments of new projects and energy efficiency assessment review.


Practice of green building action plan. Strengthening building energy planning and implementing building energy efficiency upgrade projects, implemented as soon as possible 75% of design standard for energy efficiency of residential buildings, accelerate the construction of green buildings and the renovation of existing buildings, introduce the building energy consumption quotas and green building rating and labeling system, and vigorously promote energy-efficient appliances and lighting, actively promote the construction of new energy cities. Developing low-carbon eco-cities and eco-city green, by 2020, the urban share of green building in new buildings at 50%. Accelerate the speed of reform of heat metering, new buildings and heating metering and renovation of existing buildings to implement heating metering and charging.


Practice green transportation action plan. Improving the comprehensive transportation system planning, speed up the construction of the integrated transport system. Actively promote the pace of industrialization of clean-energy vehicles and ships, improving vehicle fuel economy standards and environmental standards. Accelerating the development of rail transport and shipping, resource-saving and environment-friendly mode of transport, promoting the construction of major inner-city urban agglomeration railway. Vigorously develop urban public transport, and strengthening the construction of pedestrian and bicycle transportation system, increase the proportion of public and non-motorized travel.


3. drive land use change.


In accordance with the General requirements of integrated urban and rural development and new towns, insist on combining centralized and decentralized energy supply, construct energy supply facilities in urban and rural areas, promote the use pattern and raise the level of urban and rural energy and efficiency.


Implement action plan for new towns, new energy, new life. Scientific preparation of town planning, urban spatial layout optimization, promoting Informationization and urbanization, low Carbonation depth, building low-carbon smart town. Development of integrated urban energy planning, develop distributed energy, cogeneration of scientific development, encourage qualified areas for development of combined heating, cooling, and development of wind, solar, biomass, geothermal heating.


Speeding up rural energy reform. Pay close attention to study and formulate long-term policies and measures to promote the construction of green County, Township and village, vigorously developing small hydropower stations in rural areas, strengthen the new rural hydropower electrification counties with construction of ecological protection project of substituting small hydropower for fuel, according to local conditions to develop renewable energy in rural areas, promoting the clean and efficient use of non-commercial energy, strengthening energy-saving work in rural areas.


National energy action. National energy efficiency action plans, strengthening propaganda and education, popularizing energy-saving knowledge, promotion of energy-efficient technologies, new products, and vigorously promote a green lifestyle, lead resident scientific and rational use of energy, so saving energy has become the conscious action of the whole society.
