Summary

Chapter Six introduces the overarching law provisions in the Energy Conservation Law related to low-carbon development targets, energy efficiency regulation, energy storage, and financial support prescribed to incentivise these mechanisms. Energy efficiency and energy storage are critical measures that can help China achieve the carbon neutrality objective in a cost-effective and sustainable manner. By improving the energy efficiency of industrial sectors, buildings, and transportation, China can reduce the amount of energy needed to achieve its economic and climate goals, which benefits energy security and emission reductions. This chapter examines the essential regulatory measures adopted by the Energy Conservation Law and critically analyses the regulatory development concerning energy efficiency and energy storage in China.
