The price of energy-saving lamps made "threshold" for tax policy support

58 lamps can save electricity 27 thousand and 700 degrees per year

Winter night, driving in Shenyang, Tiexi District, small north along the way, both sides of the street lights soft and bright. Tiexi District Urban Construction Department staff accompanying told reporters that the high-pressure sodium lamp is not the traditional road lighting, but the high-power LED (semiconductor lighting lamp), a small North Road is the world's first application of high-power LED Lamps City road lighting standard function.

Dr Zhang Shaogang told reporters China Institute of lighting LED lighting, from the production process to use almost the entire process until scrapped without pollution, while the power consumption is only 1/10 of the traditional light bulb, the service life is several times and even 100 times.

Compared with ordinary electric light source, LED lamp can save much electricity? The national development and Reform Commission Research Group through field investigation and comparison, just a breakdown: according to the application of 10 hours every day, every street lamp every day to save 1.31 kwh of electricity; a small North Road 58 lights, the annual savings of 27 thousand and 700 kwh.

Currently, there are about 200 thousand street lamps in Shenyang, if you are using LED street lights, will save hundreds of millions of dollars in electricity costs each year, equivalent to about 60 thousand tons of standard coal per year, nearly 110 thousand tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

"Saving electricity does not save money" restricting the promotion of energy-saving lamps

Reporter learned that, Shenyang small North all the way to use the LED lighting, is a new product of Shenyang Daming Lighting Co., ltd.. From the development of the product into the market, spent nearly 10 years, and made fluorescent powder, heat dissipation resin technology, more than 10 core technology patents, but the market performance is not satisfactory.

Shenyang has been a special meeting to study the promotion of LED lighting applications, but in the promotion of sales still encounter many barriers". The most important is the high cost of product development, resulting in the price of LED light is 2 ~ 3 times the ordinary light source. Due to the replacement of the initial input of large LED lights, so that a lot of use of the unit is not save money". In addition, due to the government procurement is generally used in one-time cost calculation, without fully considering the relevant supporting equipment and maintenance costs, which also makes the LED lamp in the competition at a disadvantage, it is not difficult to promote.

At present, some of China's public places lighting (such as traffic tunnels, streets, parks etc.) are used in most of the traditional way of lighting power supply, street lamp light source for high pressure sodium lamp and mercury lamp, are not energy-efficient. One of the main reasons is that the price of energy-saving products is higher than ordinary products, consumers are difficult to accept.

Financial support for energy-saving products promotion

Experts pointed out that lighting electricity saving is a breakthrough to solve the phenomenon of China's power shortage. If in the civil and public light source, semiconductor lighting and efficient alternative to the current 1/3 general electric light source, you can save about 100 billion of electricity, equivalent to the Three Gorges power station generating capacity of full load for one year.

Experts believe that the promotion of energy-saving products rely solely on the strength of the enterprise and market behavior is not enough, but also need the government to increase policy support to promote the use of environmentally friendly energy-saving lighting products to promote. For example, the production of energy-saving products in the enterprise loans, taxes and other concessions, the real energy-saving products included in the government procurement catalog.

Reporters learned from the Ministry of finance, the central government will invest 7 billion yuan this year, support, including energy efficient products, including the top ten key energy-saving projects. Promotion of efficient lighting products will take government subsidies approach. The specific approach is the financial subsidy funds supply enterprises, by enterprises according to the sales price minus the financial subsidies in the price to end users, large users and urban and rural residents can buy efficient lighting products at lower prices. The Ministry of Finance said that this year the national 50 million plan to promote energy efficient products, in the accumulation of experience, will gradually establish a set of air conditioners, refrigerators, including automotive, construction, energy efficient products to promote the effective system.
