LED lighting subsidy policy or will be out

June 10 is the national low-carbon day, and as the pressure for energy conservation and emission reduction continues to expand, the low carbonization in various fields is also deepening. Xie Zhenhua, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, attended the 5th Ditan Forum on the morning of the 9th that China's energy-saving and emission reduction schedule lags behind expectations. It will require continued efforts to complete the set targets and the next step will be to strengthen financial support and tax incentives for energy-saving and low-carbon companies.

In the field of energy-saving electricity, the substitution effect of LED is prominent. According to the Xinhua News Agency, China, the United Nations, and the United Nations’ Global Development Fund and the Global Environment Facility launched the “China's phase-out of incandescent lamps and accelerated promotion of energy-saving lamps” project (hereinafter referred to as “Pileslamp”) over the past five years, ie cumulative phase-out of incandescents from 2009 to 2013. The annual capacity of the light is 650 million, accounting for about 16% of the country's incandescent lamp production at that time. Lu Fang, the deputy director of the project office of the project, told the reporter of the Shanghai Stock Exchange that the next step would be to speed up the advancement of alternative projects in accordance with the National Roadmap for Phaseout.

The reporter further learned from the Pileslamp Project Office that the energy-saving lamp subsidy policy from 2008 will end at the end of this year. At present, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance and other departments are studying the policy of financial subsidies to promote LED lighting products, and the subsidy forms and efforts will promote the energy-saving lamps. Based on the characteristics of LED lights, adjust accordingly.

According to reports, the life span of energy-saving lamps is more than 6000 hours, which is 6 times that of incandescent lamps. Alternative to incandescent lamps can save 60% to 80%. The lifetime of LED lights is about 3 times that of energy-saving lamps, and the power consumption is only about 60%. Xie Zhenhua said at the launching ceremony of the project that the “cancellation of incandescent lamp project” is expected to have a direct effect of about 4 billion kWh of electricity saving and 4.4 million tons of carbon dioxide emission reduction capacity. After the end of the project, it will achieve emission reduction of 1.75-23.7 million tons of carbon dioxide. .

In recent years, carbon emission constraints have tightened. The road map for phase-out of incandescent lamps released by the country in 2011 shows that on October 1 this year, the import and sale of incandescent lamps with general lighting of 60 watts or more are prohibited. As the roadmap approaches the mid-term evaluation period, the elimination rate will further accelerate. An LED listed company executive told the Shanghai Daily that the total lighting market in China last year was 260 billion yuan, nearly 80% of which were energy-saving lamps. According to the 2015 LED market share of 20%-30%, the LED has great potential.

“Because energy-saving lamps contain mercury and are not environmentally friendly, many local governments have already cancelled the subsidy for energy-saving lamps. Household lighting LED cost-effectiveness and environmental protection effects have been fully reflected. Now we expect that LED subsidy can be introduced in time,” he said.

Industry analysis, LED industry boom began to pick up last year, a few years ago 5W LED lamp prices are 3-4 times the same brightness of energy-saving lamps, but in recent years, the upstream chip prices fell at a rate of about 30% per year, the cost of general decline to In 2013, the price of LED terminal products was basically the same as that of energy-saving lamps. The LED industry is expected to enter the stage of fully replacing traditional lighting products.
