Policy "red envelope" promotes efficient motor acceleration

On March 19, the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly decided to convene a meeting in Xiangtan City, Hunan Province. As an important measure for China's promotion of energy conservation and emission reduction during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, it will once again promote high-efficiency motors by increasing financial subsidies. As a result, China has a large amount of electric motors and a low level of energy efficiency, and the ratio of high-efficiency motors' productivity structure is less than 10%. The current market share of less than 3% will be rewritten, and high-efficiency motors with huge energy-saving potential will be promoted since 2008. It is good to welcome the policy again.

Motors, commonly known as "motors," are electrical equipment that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. At present, 62% of the electricity in the country's electricity use is consumed by the motor. Because of the high cost of high-efficiency motors compared to ordinary motors, this largely limits the core competitiveness of China's industrial economy and other fields. "Now in the U.S. market, the market share of ultra-high-efficiency motors is above 60%. From June 25 this year, the EU requires the use of high-efficiency motors," said Chen Weihua, secretary-general of the Small and Medium Motors Branch of the China Electrical Equipment Industry Association.

Zhou Jianxiong, chairman of Xiangdian Group Co., Ltd., said: “Now the cost of ordinary motors is 12%-20% lower than that of highly efficient energy-saving motors.” Jiang Jianlin, director of Sichuan Chengdu Electric Power Machinery Factory, said: “Considering the factors of controlling investment costs in the early stage, we often pursue The low price, low cost, and minimal investment make the general motor widely used in the market."

Motors are currently used mainly in the fields of industry, agriculture, construction, and utilities. Divided into high-efficiency motors and ordinary motors according to energy efficiency. Among them, high-efficiency and energy-saving motors can effectively reduce the loss of electromagnetic energy, thermal energy, and mechanical energy by adopting new motor designs, new technologies, and new materials, and improve output efficiency. High-efficiency motors consume 20% to 30% less energy than ordinary motors. Compared with the case of high-efficiency or ultra-efficient energy-saving motors in European and American markets, the overall operating efficiency of our motor system is about 20% lower than in developed countries.

Increased efforts

In order to promote high-performance motors that represent the direction of industrial development and crack down on the promotion and application of high-efficiency motors, the above two departments decided to increase the financial subsidy for high-efficiency motors. The meeting determined that users who purchased low-voltage high-efficiency motors will receive 58 yuan and 31 yuan per kilowatt according to the power level, and 26 yuan per kilowatt for users who purchase high-voltage high-efficiency motors. For those who purchase rare earth permanent magnet motors, 100 yuan per kilowatt subsidy. Comparing the previous subsidy rules, we found that the new subsidy standard has been greatly improved. Take high-voltage high-efficiency motors as an example, the subsidy standard has increased by 117%.

It is reported that in 2011 the national promotion task for high-efficiency motors was 31.77 million kilowatts, which accounted for about 30% of the country's total domestic motor sales, including 20 million kilowatts of low-voltage high-efficiency motors, 10 million kilowatts of high-voltage high-efficiency motors, and 1.77 million kilowatts of rare earth permanent magnet motors. . The above promotion tasks were undertaken by 50 motor production companies such as Xiangtan Motor, Wolong Electric, and Nanyang Explosion Proof.

“This year, the central government has allocated 2 billion yuan to support the promotion of high-efficiency motors. The target size is more than 30 million kilowatts, which accounts for about 30% of the market share, thereby fundamentally changing the situation in which the use of high-efficiency motors in China is too low.” Department of Energy, Economic Development Department, Ministry of Finance Director Wu Haijun said.

The two departments also decided that they must strictly evaluate the system, and new projects must use high-efficiency motors and other energy-saving equipment and products. Promote energy-saving transformation,

The central government adopts the award-subsidy method to encourage the implementation of energy-saving technological transformation, contract energy management and other projects, promote the use of high-efficiency motors, and increase the development of high-efficiency energy-saving motor technology and industrialization demonstration.

The conference pointed out that the promotion of high-efficiency motors is of great significance. High-efficiency motors represent the direction of industrial development, with huge market space and potential for saving electricity. The total capacity of China's motor system is about 700 million kilowatts, but the proportion of high-efficiency motors is still less than 3%. We must speed up the promotion and application of high-efficiency motors, strive to realize the application of domestic high-efficiency motors, drive the electric motor industry to become bigger and stronger, and promote structural adjustment and upgrading of the equipment manufacturing industry. At the same time, we must vigorously nurture and develop strategies for accomplishing the “12th Five-Year Plan” energy saving and emission reduction targets. Sex and emerging industries make positive contributions.

Policy "fermentation"

It is understood that a very large number of enterprises and key projects such as PetroChina, Sinopec, and South-to-North Water Transfer have decided to make large-scale regulations within a short period of time after the introduction of the subsidy policy.

Modular procurement of high-efficiency motors and accelerated elimination of existing high-energy old motors. Xiangtan Motor, Wolong Electric, Nanyang Explosion-Proof and other motor manufacturing enterprises and host companies such as pumps, fans, and compressors are all stepping up product structure adjustments and expanding the scale of high-efficiency motor production, and have signed up with their respective counterparts in the motor consumer market. Nearly 10 million kilowatts of high-efficiency motor-type contracts have been implemented, and the effects of the policies have begun to show.

The fiscal subsidies and support policies for high-efficiency motors that will be implemented this month will also promote the "shuffle effect" in China's motor market.

On August 1, 2010, the state announced the first batch of high-efficiency motor promotion catalogs for the "energy-saving products Huimin Project". On March 11, 2011, the second batch of high-efficiency motor promotion catalogs for the "Energy-saving Products Huimin Project" was announced. Policy encouragement and coercive measures are two-pronged, and energy-saving motors will fully replace traditional inefficient motors in the future. Founder Securities expects that high-efficiency motors will account for 60% of new small and medium-sized motors in the next two years, and the market size of high-efficiency motors will reach 480-576 within two years. 100 million yuan.
