A Research On The Policy Implementation Of Energy Saving And Emission Reduction

Now China ranks World No.2 in terms of the CO2 emission volume, and also takes the lead on other greenhouse gases emission such as firedamp or Nitrous Oxide. Facing the more and more severe environmental situation, the government is making great effort to carry out the policy of energy saving and emission reduction throughout the country, and aiming the target towards reducing 20% on unit GDP energy consuming and 10% on main contamination emission during the period of 11th Five-Year Plan. But, good policy requires good execution, only that we can reach even exceed the target. The forcefully executing the policy of energy saving and emission reduction by all industries and all ministries is the key point whether the policy really works and whether the target will be realized. Especially for the electric power supply industry, which accounts for 50% of national coal consuming and also 50% of national pollutant emission.Taking the example of Jiangsu Electric Company, based on the theory of public policy implementation as well as thorough investigation and case study, this thesis explains that as the state-owned monopoly enterprise, the power supply company follows up the strategic policy through self-performing the measures of"generation substitution","grid energy conservation"and cooperating the national measures of"keep and promote the large and hold or close down the small power plants","Efficiency Power Plantor". Then combining the research on energy-saving and environmental protection policies performed by overseas electric power industry, this thesis analyzes the effect of performing the policy by this company and concludes those successful experiences. Firstly the company has the enterprise nature of socialist monopoly, which urges the company to have the responsibility and motive to perform the political measures. Secondly those self-performing measures are based on political practices and carried on step by step. Thirdly the company concerns on learning from overseas experience and methods. Lastly the company works closely with the governmental corresponding ministry and keeps some pace. The thesis also analyzes those pending problems when performing the policy. They are lack of the complete legal system matched with development of energy-saving and environmental protection in this industry,lack of fundamental support for the positivity of the power supply company and lack of the market mechanism to carry on energy saving and emission reduction. In last, this thesis proposes suggestion for better performing the policy in this industry after detailed analyzing the performing process by Jiangsu Electric Company. Firstly, to set up relevant rules and regulations to back up the , which would provide the protection to every steps of recovered energy including development, adoption, trade and sale and improve the development of green power supply. Secondly, to carry on the policy of de-connection of sales profit and sales volume of the supply power company, at the same to set up the system of energy saving refund to ensure the positivity of the company to perform the policy of energy saving and emission reduction. Thirdly, to set up the new mechanism of energy-saving agreement and the new trade system of green power supply, pushing the development of green power supply industry. Fourthly, to set up the system of stager electricity price, pushing all nation to use the electricity in an saving way.
