Original title: Six departments: expand the coverage of key energy-using products and equipment and improve energy-saving standards.
On February 7, the reporter learned from the National Development and Reform Commission that in order to improve the energy-saving standards of products and equipment, support energy-saving transformation in key areas, and help large-scale equipment renewal and consumer goods trade-in, recently, the National Development and Reform Commission, together with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the State Administration of Market Supervision, the National Energy Administration and other departments issued the "Advanced Level of Energy Efficiency, Energy Conservation Level and Access Level of Key Energy-using Products and Equipment (2024 Edition)".
It is estimated that the number of major energy-using products and equipment in operation in China exceeds 5 billion units (sets), and the annual energy consumption accounts for about 80% of the total energy consumption in the country.
The 2024 edition expands the coverage of key energy-using products and equipment. In addition to the 20 types of products and equipment that have defined energy efficiency levels, 23 types of products and equipment, such as industrial boilers, data centers, servers, charging piles, communication base stations, and photovoltaic modules, will be added to 43 types. At the same time, it is required to accelerate the improvement of energy-saving standards for products and equipment, promote the renewal and utilization of green and low-carbon consumption, increase the implementation of application and supervision and inspection, and strengthen comprehensive policy support.
In the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission will work with relevant departments to strengthen overall coordination, strengthen organizational guarantees, form a joint force of departments, give full play to the leading role of energy efficiency, promote the upgrading of products and equipment, accelerate the transformation of energy conservation and carbon reduction in key areas, and promote the completion of the binding targets for reducing energy intensity in the "14th Five-Year Plan".
