on Tuesday unveiled a slew of measures for industrial upgrades and
green growth in 2021, according to the Ministry of Industry and
Information Technology. The
country will accelerate applications of big data and other digitalized
methods in its demand-side management of electricity and other utility
consumption to improve energy efficiency, the ministry said. Carbon
emissions will be cut in vital sectors, the ministry said. It added
that companies in the industrial sector would be encouraged to beef up
efforts in retrofitting electrical equipment and informatization. A
batch of specialized outlets providing demand-side electricity
management services for industrial businesses will be cultivated,
according to the ministry. China
emphasizes energy conservation management in key energy consumption
enterprises and systematic optimization of energy in the Outline of the
14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) for National Economic and Social
Development and the Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035. It was
adopted at the annual session of China's top legislature last week.
