The State Council will clearly raise the consumption tax rate of large-displacement cars.


Energy-saving work and energy-saving actions for the whole people, deliberated and passed in principle the "Regulations on Energy Conservation of Public Institutions (Draft)" and "Regulations on Energy Conservation of Civil Buildings (Draft)".

The meeting pointed out that the shortage of energy supply has become an important factor restricting economic and social development. To solve China's energy problems, we must adhere to the principle of giving priority to conservation and development, and put the work of saving fuel and electricity in a more prominent position.

The meeting emphasized that it is necessary to highlight the key points, grasp the key areas such as automobiles, boilers, motor systems, air conditioning, lighting, etc., with a wide range of applications, great potential, and quick results, and adopt comprehensive supporting measures to form an effective incentive mechanism to greatly improve energy utilization efficiency.

First, we must do a good job of automobile fuel saving. Strictly implement the vehicle elimination system, implement preferential consumption tax policies for energy-saving and environmentally friendly vehicles, increase the consumption tax rate of large-displacement vehicles, and vigorously develop public transportation.

Second, we must do a good job of boiler oil saving. Take the shutdown of fuel generating units as the focus of the shutdown of small thermal power plants, and increase support for projects that save and replace oil.

Third, we must do a good job of saving electricity in the motor system. Formulate the elimination catalogue and elimination plan of inefficient and backward motors and drag equipment to speed up the elimination progress. Encourage the use of energy-saving special equipment and implement energy-saving renovation.

Fourth, we must do a good job of air conditioning and electricity saving. The implementation of fiscal and taxation policies to encourage consumers to buy energy-efficient air conditioners.

Fifth, we must do a good job of lighting and saving electricity. Intensify the promotion of high-efficiency lighting products. This year and next, large and medium-sized city government agencies, urban road lighting, hotels, restaurants, and public places will all eliminate low-efficiency lighting products.

Six to do a good job of office energy saving. The meeting demanded that we should give prominence to the energy-saving work of key electricity and oil units, strengthen the management of electricity demand, implement the price policy of saving oil and electricity, investigate and deal with all kinds of waste of oil and electricity in accordance with the law, and ensure the implementation of various energy-saving measures.

The regulations on Energy Conservation of Public institutions (draft) defines the responsibilities of public institutions and their responsible persons in energy conservation work, and stipulates that public institutions should establish and improve rules and regulations on energy conservation management, improve the level of energy conservation management, discover and correct energy waste in a timely manner, and accept social supervision.

The revised "Civil Building Energy Conservation Regulations (Draft)" further clarified the scope of application of civil building energy conservation standards and stipulated corresponding legal responsibilities.
