The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently issued a notice to clarify the national industrial energy conservation supervision task in 2023. The special energy conservation supervision task takes into account the characteristics of the industry, the size of the enterprise, the region where it is located and the content of the supervision, and determines 4,391 enterprises in the national industrial energy conservation supervision task. Among them, there are 1,891 special inspections of energy efficiency in key industries such as steel, petrochemical, chemical, building materials, and non-ferrous metals, 242 special inspections of energy efficiency in key areas such as data centers, 2,125 special inspections of energy efficiency in green factories and national green data centers, and 133 special inspections of the rectification and implementation of illegal enterprises in 2022. At the same time, the local industry and information technology authorities put forward three work requirements, such as strengthening the implementation of responsibility, strengthening team construction, and ensuring the progress of work.
