Shandong: Outstanding achievements in energy conservation Most companies improve internal energy conservation system

During the eleventh five-year plan that has just passed in the past, Shandong’s economic and social development has achieved better than expected results. Among them, energy-saving achievements have been even more prominent.

According to Zheng Xiaoguang, director of the Energy Conservation Office of the People's Government of Shandong Province, during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, Shandong completed the energy-saving goal of 22% reduction in energy consumption per 10,000 yuan of GDP.

"Eleventh Five-Year Plan" Shandong Province, the realization of energy-saving goals, and a large number of industrial enterprises independent and active energy conservation are inseparable. Entrusted by the provincial government's energy conservation office, Shandong Provincial Public Opinion Survey Center and the Shandong Provincial Academy of Sciences' Research Center for Climate Change Research completed the "Survey of Key Energy-conserving Enterprises in Shandong Province," which shows that during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, most companies in Shandong attach importance to Energy-saving work has established a relatively complete internal energy-saving system. Among them, 80% of the companies have established energy measurement systems and energy-saving assessment systems. Nearly 3/4 of them have established energy consumption statistics and reporting systems. Over 70% of the energy-saving work responsibility systems and annual energy-saving plans have been established.

At the same time, what is even more gratifying is that the practice of energy saving and consumption reduction by enterprises as economic units has also received strong support from the governments at all levels in our province. Most enterprises have obtained different levels of policy preferences or rewards during the “11th Five-Year Plan” period. The proportion of enjoying government funding, tax reductions, and energy-saving incentives has increased year by year. Among them, the policies for enjoying a wide range of areas include: energy-saving special funds and energy-saving incentives, which account for 13% of the total; comprehensive utilization of resources, clean production, environmental protection, energy saving, tax-exemption of water-saving equipment, and the proportion is 5%-9%. Inter-ring; circular economy pilot project demonstration, accounting for 3% of the overall.

In addition, since most enterprises have established professional energy-saving systems and equipped with special energy-saving personnel, coupled with the vigorous guidance of the government and continuous advancement of technology in recent years, the energy-saving level of most key energy-using enterprises in our province has been continuously improved. The relevant evaluation shows that I More than 40% of the province’s energy consumption levels are already below the national average.

The "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" is the key period for the province's economic transformation and structure adjustment. The state and the province continue to regard the energy consumption per 10,000 yuan as an important constraint. The year 2011 is the first year of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”. The situation facing energy conservation is still severe. Especially in the first quarter, the “two-high” industries may experience rapid growth. The rebound in energy consumption pressure will be greater, and the completion of the indicators will face enormous challenges.

The "Report" shows that at present, there are more than 1,400 industrial enterprises with annual energy consumption of over 10,000 tons in our province, and energy consumption accounts for more than 70% of the energy use of industrial enterprises in the province. These enterprises are the province's ability to successfully complete the "Twelve Five Years." "The key to energy conservation goals.

Although the province’s energy saving during the “11th Five-Year Plan” has made great achievements, after careful inspection, it will be found that some enterprises in our province still lack energy-saving consciousness of self-examination, the level of self-potential needs to be improved, and the overall energy-saving level still has room for improvement. Wang Yugang, director of the Resource Conservation Department of the Provincial Energy Conservation Office, told reporters that “the investment in energy-saving R&D and training is low, and there is a clear mentality that “prizes” do not recognize “penalties”. ”

In terms of the difficulties faced by energy conservation, related research shows that some companies still lack awareness of self-examination and their “game” mentality is obvious. They are more willing to emphasize objective difficulties and have insufficient review of their own subjective efforts; most companies tend to invest in energy conservation. They are more willing to invest energy-saving funds in places that are “visible and effective” and invest their funds in the purchase and transformation of equipment, while promoting the internal deep-seated levels of energy saving for “independent innovation” and “improving the quality of people”. The degree of importance of the factors is obviously not enough. There are fewer and less investment in "energy-saving technology research and development" and "training of personnel"; most enterprises are more willing to obtain "government funding support" and "government incentive measures" and do not want to evaluate energy-saving effective measures. It is believed that the “government's strict indicator requirements” can effectively solve energy-saving problems only 4.3%, far lower than the proportion of “government fund support” and “government incentive measures”. It shows that in the “prizes” and “penalties”, companies generally Recognition of "award" does not recognize "penalty."

Zhang Xiao, director of the Shandong Provincial Public Opinion Survey Center, said that through surveys, it has been found that there is still a gap between the energy conservation level of key energy-using enterprises in our province and the international advanced level. "In the survey, less than 20% of the enterprises believe that their own energy-saving levels are higher than the international advanced level, and clearly stated that their own energy-saving levels are lower than the international advanced level by more than 30%, and that it is just 50.2% that they can keep up with the international advanced level," he said.

As an economic entity operating in the market and pursuing profit maximization, energy-using companies in cost accounting find out that the “better than lost” conclusion leads to the most important driving force for corporate energy conservation; administrative pressure and policy incentives have a certain role, However, it is difficult to become a long-term, continuous driving force; at the same time, adopting various means to strengthen awareness of corporate social responsibility can play a multiplier role in energy conservation.

From the "Report" survey data can also be clearly supported. The "Report" shows that the survey found that three-quarters of enterprises see the economic pressure brought by rising energy prices as the primary driving force for corporate energy conservation; followed by "social responsibility", accounting for 61.6%; it is worth noting that the "energy saving benefits will be achieved." "Significantly more than cost," which accounted for 54.3% of energy-saving power, was only ranked third. This shows that current energy-saving technologies still need to be improved and their revenues need to be improved; and they will obtain "government policy preferences and bank loan concessions" and "superior requirements for strict indicators." "As a low percentage of energy-saving power, they are all less than 1/4. Most companies believe that even if the energy-saving investment is significantly increased, the potential for energy-saving is not necessarily obvious.

From the survey situation, energy-saving technological transformation is considered to be the most effective measure to promote energy-saving work; in terms of energy-saving investment, most companies have invested capital in the purchase and transformation of equipment. It can be seen that the company believes that effective energy-saving measures still focus on technology and equipment. In contrast, there are few companies that believe that the levy of carbon taxes and energy price increases can promote energy conservation. For enterprises, especially high-energy-consuming enterprises, energy conservation must be based on development that does not impede development. It is unacceptable to increase energy costs and limit energy use for enterprises to achieve energy conservation.
