"Double control" of total energy consumption and intensity is the goal of incremental control of energy consumption (ten thousand tons of standard coal) and reduction of energy consumption intensity. Encourage energy conservation and efficiency improvement, rational use of energy, limit excessive use of energy, promote the construction of ecological civilization, implement the concept of green development, accelerate the formation of resource-saving and environment-friendly production methods and consumption patterns, and support sustained and healthy economic and social development with as little energy consumption as possible.

Problems needing attention in double control of energy consumption

In order to achieve the goal of "double control" of energy consumption as soon as possible, some provinces talk about the color change of "coal", and they tend to impose uniformity on coal-fired power projects. Some places place their hopes on a certain technology and try to solve the problem once and for all. The reason why this practice has a certain market is, in the final analysis, that some areas do not know enough about the importance of "double control" of energy consumption and lack accurate understanding of its connotation.

In view of these situations, the relevant departments have recently carried out special inspections and corrected some incorrect practices in time. However, judging from the completion of the "double control" target of energy consumption in the first half of the year, the current national energy saving situation is still grim, and it is urgent for all localities to take effective measures to ensure the completion of the "double control" target of energy consumption throughout the year.
