Contract energy management will become the main mode of energy-saving transformation of energy-using units in China

The latest statistics show that last year, the output value of China's energy-saving service industry exceeded 100 billion yuan for the first time, reaching 125 billion yuan, an increase of 49.5% over the previous year.

As of the end of 2011, there were nearly 3,900 companies engaged in energy conservation services nationwide, including 1,472 energy conservation service companies that had implemented contract energy management projects, an increase of 88.23% over 2010; the number of employees in the industry increased substantially from the original 175,000. The number of people increased to 378,000, an increase of 116%.

The “Twelfth Five-Year Plan for Energy-saving and Emission Reduction Comprehensive Work Program” recently issued by the State Council has created a good opportunity for the development of contract energy management and energy-saving service industries. Wu Daohong introduced that this year will help foster a group of specialized energy-saving service companies, develop and expand a group of comprehensive large-scale energy-saving service companies, and establish a dynamic, distinctive, and orderly energy-saving service market. 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.

Contract energy management is a market-oriented energy-saving mechanism that pays for the cost of energy-saving projects with reduced energy costs. Energy-saving service companies sign energy management contracts with users, agree energy-saving targets, provide users with services such as energy-saving diagnostics, scrutiny, and reconstruction, and use energy-saving benefit sharing to recover investment and obtain a reasonable profit, which can significantly reduce the funds for energy-saving transformation of energy-using units. And technical risks.
