Recent reports indicate that China is to get “tough” on companies who do not meet Energy Efficiency targets. The current Chinese target is to reduce the energy intensity of the economy (defined as the amount of wealth produced per kWh of energy consumed) by 20% between 2006 and 2010. In the previous four years to date, the reduction achieved is said to be 14.38%. Wen Jiabao, the Chinese premier, is apparantly stressing his willingness for the Chinese Government to take drastic action to ensure the target is met - although clearly, there is not much time left. Wen also declared intentions to shut down older coal fired electricity generating units among a number of other measures to increase energy efficiency of utilities.Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites         |
