China: Township Electrification Program

The Township Electrification Program gave one million rural people in one thousand townships (or about 250,000 households) access to electricity with energy from solar PV, small hydro and a small amount of wind generation. The next phase of the program is the village electrification phase, aiming to electrify 20,000 villages during the period 2005-2010.

Date Implemented: 2001, installation completed 2003

China: Pricing Reforms

The government removed the heavy subsidies that had been keeping energy prices low and providing a disincentive for the development of increased efficiency. A two-tiered (or multiple) price structure was introduced for coal and petroleum prices, allowing for quantities beyond production quotas to be sold at higher prices.   

Date Implemented: 1980s: ‘81 (oil), ‘82/’84 (coal); ‘87 (natural gas), ‘85 (electricity); 1990s for coal, oil

The energy conservation objectives and the focus of development by 2010 are essentially planned, whereas the objectives stated for 2020 are proposed. In its “alternative oil strategy,” which is part of the Five-Year Plan, Beijing has called for a doubling in renewable energy generation to 15% of the country’s needs by 2020, including major increases in wind power and biomass.

China: Green Insurance System

China is beginning a trial phase of requiring insurance for companies that produce or use high- risk chemical products. Companies that have been prone to accidents recently will be targeted. This measure is intended to help victims of polluting industries receive timely and appropriate compensation. The insurance would prevent companies from going bankrupt after a serious environmental accident, but still give them incentive to lower their insurance costs by increasing their safety standards.
