New proposals for energy-saving subsidies: efficient lighting products will continue

National energy-saving appliances subsidy policy has been concluded since June 1st, the current home appliance market is in the zero subsidy development period. In order to encourage energy consumption, consumers continued to stimulate energy-saving products, not only some enterprises have introduced for the enterprise products subsidies, many local governments have begun to launch the corresponding subsidy policy, so the new guess on long-term mechanism of China's energy-saving products caused by.

Subsidies for efficient lighting products will continue

With the end of home appliance subsidy policy, efficient lighting products promotion policy seems to have come to the crossroads. Is to continue to subsidize the promotion, or let go to the market? The day before, the reporter get a positive reply from Chinese Association of lighting: efficient lighting products promotion policy will continue. Currently relevant departments are formulating relevant policies.

Chen Yansheng, chairman of China Lighting Electrical Appliances Association, said that since 2008 the implementation of efficient lighting products to promote financial subsidies policy for the development of the lighting industry has played a strong role in promoting. 5 years, the lighting industry with the implementation of national policies in a more standardized manner, did not cause a negative impact on the successful completion of the company's own promotional tasks.

The scope of the policy to promote the product, said Chen Yansheng is still in development. Reporters look at the list of policies to promote efficient lighting products, found to be included in the policy of the product has been constantly adjusted. In 2012, metal halide lamp and high pressure sodium exit extended energy subsidies, only to continue to implement the policy on the promotion of general lighting energy subsidies for self ballasted fluorescent lamps, three color high-frequency double end fluorescent lamp and support two kinds of efficient lighting products. The semiconductor lighting industry incentive policies are promulgated, "semiconductor lighting technology development" 12th Five-Year "special plan" after the release, July 2012, tender LED lighting products industry has been eagerly looked forward to the project financial subsidies will start.

At the same time, since the beginning of the promotion of energy-saving lamps, industry experts on the waste energy saving lamps may cause environmental pollution problems raised questions. However, experts believe that in October 1, 2016 after the elimination of incandescent lamps, the market will still be the main role of energy-saving lamps. Chen Yansheng explained, on the one hand the semiconductor lighting technology still needs to be further improved, at the same time, the development of low mercury technology and solid mercury technology makes the energy saving lamp into the mercury less, recycling measures will gradually improve. The national development and Reform Commission has repeatedly said it will focus on the promotion of the use of low mercury, mercury solid technology and adopting cleaner production technology of high-quality, environmentally friendly and efficient lighting products, and encourage enterprises to carry out clean production, waste lamp recycling pilot, set up waste lamp recycling mechanism.

It is understood that the bidding for the 2012 project subsidies to promote efficient lighting products, not only for the mercury content made clear, especially the requirements of recovery ratio, there is no waste lamp recycling equipment and enterprises through cleaner production audit included in the tender.

In 2012, efficient lighting products (self ballasted fluorescent lamps, three color double end straight fluorescent lamps for general lighting) focused on the promotion of regional lock for small and medium-sized city, rural and underdeveloped areas, in principle, to rural areas and less developed areas to promote the proportion of not less than 60%. Experts said that from the current stage, the use of small and medium cities and rural markets incandescent lamp is also very large, energy-saving lamps to promote the task is very heavy. From this point of view, the promotion of energy-saving lamps are necessary to survive.

How to take the road of energy subsidies?

Just the end of the energy subsidy policy, the average subsidy of less than 10% of the total price of the product. There are a lot of people think that the amount of subsidy is too low, the driving force for energy saving products limited. Some industry experts believe that the development of government incentives to consumers may wish to save energy as a reference.

In 2012 to carry out energy subsidies at the beginning, the Swiss Top10 energy conservation center Chinese district director Zhao Zhonghua has suggested that such subsidies should be limited to subsidies by 1 energy-efficient products new energy-saving technologies, and avoid large subsidies models. At the same time, the amount of subsidies accounted for the product sales price of 20%-30% will achieve significant results, if the list of energy-saving products and ordinary products, the cost of life cycle will be conducive to the promotion of products.

The day before, internationalelectricalstandards identified Cooperation Organization released in accordance with the findings Chinese energy-saving products Huimin project consumer feedback. The results show that more than 60% of consumers are willing to pay less than 10% of the amount of energy-saving products. It is understood that the May 2013 survey conducted in 10 large and medium-sized city in November 2012, a total of 15 thousand people participated in the survey, only about 14% of the consumers are not willing to pay a premium for such products, but also less than 1/4 of the consumers are willing to pay more than 10% of the energy saving product cost. The results also show that the different needs of the situation, the amount of subsidies for the expected value is also different. Just in case, when the amount of subsidies to the price of 24.8%, consumers will be very likely to buy energy-saving appliances; in the non just case, the amount of subsidies reached 31.3%, consumers are very likely to buy. This shows that consumers just need a higher amount of subsidies to buy their own willingness to buy. At the same time, the study found that different cities, different incomes of consumers on the amount of subsidies is also very different expectations, in general, the consumer expectations of large cities are far lower than the consumer of small cities.
