“In the first quarter of this year, Sichuan’s regulated industrial energy consumption per unit of added value decreased by 3.2% year-on-year, maintaining a good trend of continuous decline.” Li Qiang, chief engineer of Sichuan Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology, said on the 10th in Leshan, Sichuan Province, that Sichuan will organize the transformation of safety, environmental protection and energy saving technologies to cultivate more energy-saving and carbon reduction industry benchmarks.

The launch ceremony of the 2023 Sichuan Energy Conservation Publicity Week was held in Leshan, Sichuan Province on October 10. Further promoting energy saving, water saving and carbon reduction in the industrial field is one of the focuses of this event.

It is understood that Sichuan has carried out in-depth energy efficiency standards and energy efficiency “leader” selection activities in the industrial field, and has implemented energy-saving diagnosis for more than 300 industrial enterprises in the province. We will actively promote the withdrawal of outdated production capacity in key industries such as paper making and chemical industry and in key areas such as coal-fired boilers, electric motors and transformers. We will introduce and implement policies to support the high-quality development of green and low-carbon industries, promote the high-quality development of power batteries, crystalline silicon photovoltaic, vanadium and titanium industries, and promote the construction of a green manufacturing system.

In order to promote energy saving, water saving and carbon reduction in the industrial field, Sichuan organized the preparation of action plans for carbon peaking in the industrial field and steel, non-ferrous metals, chemicals, building materials and other industries, and formulated the “14th Five-Year Plan for Industrial Green Development in Sichuan Province”. At present, Sichuan has established 558 national and provincial green factories, 60 green industrial parks, 11 green supply chain management enterprises, and 87 kinds of green design products.

Sichuan is also speeding up the construction of a clean and low-carbon energy system, and promoting the complementary and integrated development of water and scenery. In December 2022, all units of Baihetan Hydropower Station on the Jinsha River were put into operation to generate electricity, marking the completion of the world’s largest clean energy corridor. In 2022, the installed capacity of clean energy in Sichuan Province will exceed 100 million kilowatts, accounting for more than 86%. Among them, the installed hydropower capacity was 97.485 million kW, ranking first in the country. Through the implementation of the “Electric Sichuan” action plan, Sichuan’s alternative electricity capacity will reach 16.56 billion KWH in 2022.

During the 2023 Sichuan Energy Conservation Publicity Week, Sichuan will carry out the “2023 Energy Saving and Low-carbon Service into Enterprises Activity”, aiming at the main technical equipment, key process and energy measurement management of enterprises, carry out public welfare energy conservation diagnosis for some key energy use enterprises in Sichuan, and put forward measures and suggestions on optimizing energy use structure, improving energy use efficiency and strengthening energy use management of enterprises. We will promote energy conservation and carbon reduction in key industries in an orderly manner
