In 2018, the development status of China's energy-saving service industry and the output value maintained a steady growth rate
According to the statistics of the Energy Conservation Service Industry Committee (EMCA) of China Energy Conservation Association, in 2018, the energy conservation service industry continued to maintain stable development, with a total output value of 477.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.1%; The energy-saving service industry is still a positive factor driving national economic growth, and also plays a pillar role in strategic emerging industries.
Enterprise investment confidence has picked up
With the strong support of the Party Central Committee, governments at all levels and relevant institutions, various policies and measures for contract energy management have been effectively implemented and promoted, and the energy-saving service industry has continued to develop and create brilliance. According to EMCA statistics, in 2018, China's contract energy management investment was 117.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.2%; It has increased from the growth rate of about 3% in 2016-2017, showing that the investment confidence of energy-saving service companies has picked up.
The effect of energy conservation and emission reduction has slowed down
According to EMCA statistics, in 2018, China's contract energy management correspondingly formed an annual energy-saving capacity of 39.3 million tons of standard coal and an annual reduction of 106.51 million tons of carbon dioxide; All maintained a growth trend, but the overall performance of energy saving capacity and carbon dioxide reduction slowed down, with a growth rate of about 3%.
Market prospects of China's energy-saving service industry in 2018
China is a major energy consumer, and energy consumption is growing rapidly
In the first half of 2018, the electricity consumption of the whole society was 3,229.1 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 9.4%, an increase of 3.1 percentage points over the same period in 2017, a new high in six years. Among them, coal consumption rose steadily, with national coal consumption increasing by about 3.1% year-on-year; oil consumption remained stable, with apparent consumption increasing by about 2.5% year-on-year; natural gas consumption increased significantly, with apparent consumption increasing by about 16.8% year-on-year; Electricity consumption is growing rapidly.
The energy-saving service industry still has a lot to do
If the relative amount is not considered, but from the absolute point of view, China is indeed a large energy consumer, and China is indeed facing greater pressure on energy development; However, from a relative point of view, China's economy is large. In the first half of 2018, China's energy consumption structure continued to be optimized. According to the preliminary calculation of the Energy Bureau, the total energy consumption in H1 2018 increased by about 3.4% year-on-year. The proportion of clean energy consumption such as natural gas, hydropower, nuclear power, and wind power in total energy consumption increased by about 1.5 percentage points over the same period last year, and the proportion of coal consumption decreased by about 1.3 percentage points. Energy conservation and consumption reduction continue to achieve results. According to preliminary calculations, the national energy consumption per unit of GDP in the first half of the year decreased by about 3.2% year-on-year, higher than the annual target of more than 3%.
