On 2013, financial subsidies to promote efficient lighting bidding started

Yesterday, I learned from the National Development and Reform Commission that in order to develop green lighting, the bidding for the promotion of efficient lighting products through financial subsidies in 2013 was started. This tender focuses on promoting low-mercury products and requires enterprises to implement cleaner production. Industry insiders believe that the emphasis on cleaner production will help leading enterprises win bids. This tender is jointly entrusted by the economic construction department of the Ministry of Finance and the resource conservation and environmental protection department of the National Development and Reform Commission to China Electronics Import and Export Corporation. China National Electronics Import and Export Corporation made it clear in the tender announcement that with the in-depth implementation of the national energy conservation and emission reduction policy and the gradual maturity of the market, the financial subsidy and promotion scale of fluorescent lamps will be gradually reduced in the future, and timely withdraw from the scope of financial subsidy promotion, and gradually turn to more energy-saving and environmentally friendly semiconductors (LED)And other efficient lighting products. The tender announcement clearly states that this tender focuses on promoting low-mercury and micro-Mercury products, requiring enterprises to implement clean production and increase recycling of waste fluorescent lamps; Focus on small and medium-sized cities, rural areas and underdeveloped areas, in principle, the proportion of promotion to rural areas and underdeveloped areas is not less than 70. Industry insiders believe that the 2013 annual bidding will focus on promoting low-mercury and micro-Mercury products, which will speed up the elimination of backward production processes by small and medium-sized enterprises.
