Four departments jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for the High-Quality Development of Energy-Saving Equipment (2026-2028)".

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the National Energy Administration and other four departments jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for High-Quality Development of Energy-Saving Equipment (2026-2028)". The "Implementation Plan" focuses on six categories of energy-saving equipment such as energy-saving motors, transformers, industrial heat pumps, industrial refrigeration (heat) and heating equipment, water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment, and information and communication equipment. It proposes to promote energy-saving and carbon reduction in key industries, optimize energy use systems, focus on the development and application of advanced technology equipment, and accelerate the intelligent, green, and integrated development of energy-saving equipment. By 2028, breakthroughs will be made in key materials and components of energy-saving equipment, the matching efficiency and actual operating efficiency of energy systems in key industries will continue to improve, and the energy efficiency of energy-saving equipment such as motors and transformers will reach the international leading level, further increasing the market share of energy-saving equipment. The "Implementation Plan" focuses on energy-saving motors, transformers, industrial heat pumps, industrial refrigeration (heat) and heating equipment, water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment, and information and communication equipment. It aims to promote energy-saving and carbon reduction in key industries, optimize energy use systems, focus on the research and application of advanced technology equipment, promote green design and manufacturing, equipment updates and transformations, and empowerment with artificial intelligence to accelerate the intelligent, green, and integrated development of energy-saving equipment. By 2028, breakthroughs will be made in key materials and components of energy-saving equipment, the matching efficiency and actual operating efficiency of energy systems in key industries will continue to improve, and the energy efficiency of energy-saving equipment such as motors and transformers will reach the international leading level, further increasing the market share of energy-saving equipment. The "Implementation Plan" systematically deploys work in areas such as accelerating the research and promotion of advanced energy-saving equipment, expanding the green and low-carbon supply of energy-saving equipment, strengthening the coupling and matching of energy-saving equipment systems, and promoting the digital transformation of energy-saving equipment. It requires accelerating the research and development of new materials, components, and products for energy-saving equipment that meet market demands and have outstanding energy-saving effects, promoting the construction of large-scale models for carbon reduction through equipment energy-saving, promoting the application of artificial intelligence in energy-saving equipment, improving the operating efficiency of energy equipment systems in key industries, and achieving a transition from industrial energy savings to system-wide energy savings. Additionally, specific measures for building a healthy development environment for the industry are proposed, including accelerating the upgrading and renovation of energy-saving equipment, improving the standard system for energy-saving equipment, and strengthening the overall coordination of industrial development. The release of the "Implementation Plan" will effectively promote the high-quality development of energy-saving equipment, provide key equipment support for achieving higher levels of energy savings and carbon reduction, and accelerate the promotion of new industrialization and the achievement of carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals.
