        Energy Efficiency Obligation

        In 2010, China introduced energy efficiency obligations to attain 14 578 GWh of energy savings per year, achieving an incremental energy savings of 0.04% per year in comparison to total fuel consumption. Electricity used in all sectors are covered in this policy. The obligated parties include government-owned grid companies. Obligated grid companies must reach a savings a 0.3% of electricity sales in the previous year and a load reduction by at least 0.3% of maximum load in the previous year. There are no specific eligible energy efficiency measures. 100% of savings can only be claimed if…

        National Energy Policy, Volume I

        The policy aims to reduce the dependence on imported sources of energy by increasing share of renewable energy in the energy mix, cross-sectoral energy conservation and energy efficiency standards. It aims to conserve energy consumption and improve energy efficiency by 50% in 2020. Other Initiatives:implementation of government facility conservation planadvancement of regulation on building and constructionconducting awareness campaign on energy efficiency and conservationconducting training and capacity building programme

        Promotion of national competitiveness : the main focus is the liberalisation of the electricity market and to decrease energy intensity. In early 2007, the renewable energy targets were reviewed and made more ambitious: -The target rate of electricity produced from renewable energy sources by 2010 was set higher, going from its initial figure of 39% to 45%. - The percentage of biofuels as part of road-transport fuel was set at 10% by 2010, up from the previous target of 5.75%. - 5% to 10% of coal used in Sines and Pego power plants is to be prelaced by biomass or waste…

        Based on a broad national debate on energy carried out over the course of 2003, the government is elaborating guidelines for future legislation in the energy sector (notably through a white paper on energy). The guidelines focus around three main axes:

        - Improving energy efficiency

        - Diversifying the energy mix

        - The development of renewable energy sources

        Smart technologies and data to future proof UK energy

        The UK government and Ofgem have announced plans for smart technologies to help consumers cut their bills, as demand for electricity intensifies and fossil fuels are being phased out in the UK. The plans would address novel energy security needs and respond to the increasing urgency to consume cleaner energy from renewable sources without disruption.  Deployment of smart technology across the grid could create 24 thousand UK jobs and reduce the cost of system management by 10 billion GBP a year by 2050.
