The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has organized the 2026 industrial energy‑conservation inspection campaign.


Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a notice to launch the 2026 industrial energy‑conservation inspection campaign, outlining four key tasks: energy‑efficiency inspections in priority industries and sectors; energy‑efficiency inspections along key industrial value chains; energy‑efficiency inspections of major energy‑using equipment; and follow-up inspections to assess the implementation of corrective measures by enterprises found in violation during 2025.

Energy‑efficiency inspections in key industrial sectors will focus on enterprises in the steel, synthetic ammonia, oil refining, ethylene, caustic soda, soda ash, methanol, polyvinyl chloride, electrolytic aluminum, industrial silicon, cement, flat glass, architectural and sanitary ceramics, and data‑center industries. In principle, by 2026–2027, energy‑efficiency inspections will achieve full coverage of enterprises in these sectors within the region (with full coverage to be attained in 2026 for polyvinyl chloride producers using the calcium carbide process).

Energy‑efficiency inspections of key industrial chains focus on priority sectors such as photovoltaic modules, wind turbine units, power and energy‑storage batteries, and water electrolysis hydrogen‑production equipment. Specialized energy‑conservation audits are conducted at key enterprises across the value chain—covering raw materials, manufacturing, and end‑product assembly—with particular emphasis on verifying energy consumption during production processes and the energy efficiency of major products.

Energy‑efficiency monitoring of key energy‑using equipment focuses on enterprises in priority industries and industrial value chains, conducting energy‑saving inspections of motors, transformers, fans, pumps, air compressors, industrial boilers, and other energy‑intensive equipment. In coordination with relevant authorities, it legally mandates that enterprises phase out low‑efficiency equipment that fails to meet the mandatory energy‑efficiency standards.

In addition, a follow-up review will be conducted on enterprises identified as having engaged in violations during the 2025 industrial energy‑conservation inspections. Those that fail to implement required corrective measures or whose remediation is inadequate will be subject to enforcement actions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
