2. Overall requirements
Taking Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of“Three Represents”as the guide, we should implement in an all-round way the scientific viewpoint of development, and focusing on quickly pushing forward the main line of“taking the lead in four aspects”, we should make a solid headway in energy-resources-saving and environment-protecting work. Taking the fulfillment of the energy-saving and emission-reducing task as a rigidity target, we should make determination unshakeable, target unchangeable and strength undiminished so as to earnestly honor the solemn commitment of the government. Combining energy-saving and emission-reducing work with the implementation of the“11th Five-Year Plan”and the three-year action program for environmental protection and with the construction of the State pilot city of circular economy, we should ensure the fulfillment of energy-saving and emission-reducing targets and tasks. Sticking to restructuring, basing on innovation of system, mechanism, technology and management, making combined use of economic, legal and other necessary administrative means, paying attention to cooperation and interaction with neighboring provinces and cities of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the field of energy saving, emission reduction and environmental protection, we should form a powerful energy-saving and emission-reducing work pattern and long-acting mechanism with the government as the guide and the enterprise as the entity and with joint participation by the whole society.

6. Actively advancing restructuring of energy sources
We should further increase supply of natural gas source and out-of-town electricity, constantly raising the consumption ratio of clean energy source to make the ratio of coal in the primary energy drop from 53% in 2005 to around 46% in 2010. We should formulate incentive policies to further gear up the exploitation and utilization of renewable energy source such as wind power and solar energy, with the wind power installed capacity reaching 200,000-300,000 KW, a solar energy light-heat equivalent area of 2.5 million sq. meters and a photovoltaic electric power generator set reaching 10 megawatts.
7. Accelerating the forming of industrial structure with service economy as the main part
We should vigorously develop modern service industry and advanced manufacture with low energy consumption, low contamination, high added value and high content of technology. We should carry out“Certain Suggestions of the State Council on Quickening the Development of Service Industry”, further enforce the implementation outline of Shanghai for the development of modern service industry, lay top priority on the development of finance, modern logistics, information service and cultural industry and promote the rapid development of outsourcing service. We should waste no time organizing for the launching of service industry, guiding the work of fund declaration, endeavoring to build a good environment for promoting the development of service industry. We should actively push forward the construction of industrial bases of electronic information, equipment, autos, ships, aerospace and aviation as well as major industrial projects so as to keep lifting the energy level of manufacturing.
III. Focusing on breaking through key points
8. Speeding up the carrying out of 10 key energy-saving projects
We should form an energy-saving capacity of 3 million tons of standard coal with accumulated amount of energy saved reaching 9 million tons of standard coal during the period of“11th Five-Year Plan”. Key energy-saving projects include: electricity-saving projects for electrical equipment, energy system optimizing projects, energy-saving projects of residual-heat and top-pressure utilization, coal-saving projects of coal-fired industrial boilers and furnaces, building energy-saving projects, electricity-saving projects of air-conditioners and household appliances, green lighting projects, projects of distributed energy-supply and others, projects of urban traffic economizing on and substituting petroleum and energy-saving projects of government institutions. We should organize for the formulation of the overall plan of key energy-saving projects and annual progress plans. In 2007, with emphasis laid on advancing the renovation of coal-fired boilers and furnaces, we should reach the goal of saving standard coal of 200000 tons by energy-saving renovation of 3000 coal-fired boilers and furnaces, optimize the energy system of production systems and techniques in key sectors such as iron and steel, petrochemical, electric power and chemical industries, spread the application of high-efficiency green lighting products, energy-saving air-conditioning, high-efficiency motors, high-voltage, high frequency, frequency conversion speeder, cool and thermal storage, recycling of residual heat and top pressure and other new energy-saving technologies.
