『Abstract
From 1980 to 2002, China experienced a 5% average annual reduction
in energy consumption per unit of gross domestic product (GDP).
With a dramatic reversal of this historic relationship, energy
intensity increased 5% per year during 2002-2005. China's 11th
Five Year Plan (FYP) set a target of reducing energy intensity
by 20% by 2010. This paper assesses selected policies and programs
that China has instituted to fulfill the national goal, finding
that China made substantial progress and many of the energy-efficiency
programs appear to be on track to meet - or in some cases exceed
- their energy-saving targets. Most of the Ten Key Projects, the
Top-1000 Program, and the Small Plant Closure Program will meet
or surpass the 11th FYP savings goals. China's appliance standards
and labeling program has become very robust. China has greatly
enhanced its enforcement of new building energy standards but
energy-efficiency programs for buildings retrofits, as well as
the goal of adjusting China's economic structure, are failing.
It is important to maintain and strengthen the existing energy-saving
policies and programs that are successful while revising programs
or adding new policy mechanisms to improve the programs that are
not on track to achieve the stated goals.
