Four departments: By 2028, breakthroughs will be achieved in key materials and components for energy-saving equipment

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and three other departments jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for the High-Quality Development of Energy-Saving Equipment (2026-2028)." The "Implementation Plan" focuses on six types of energy-saving equipment: energy-saving motors, transformers, industrial heat pumps, industrial refrigeration (heating) and heating equipment, water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment, and information communication equipment. It aims to promote energy conservation and carbon reduction in key industries, optimize energy use systems as the main direction, develop and apply advanced technology equipment as the main approach, and accelerate the intelligent, green, and integrated development of energy-saving equipment through green design and manufacturing, equipment upgrades and renovations, and artificial intelligence empowerment. By 2028, breakthroughs in key materials and components of energy-saving equipment will be achieved, the compatibility and actual operating efficiency of energy use systems in key industries will continue to improve, the energy efficiency levels of energy-saving equipment such as motors and transformers will reach international leading standards, and the market share of energy-saving equipment will further increase
