Since May, some businesses in Guangdong have begun implementing peak-load shifting. The continued high temperatures and robust economic recovery have led to a sharp increase in electricity demand, prompting Guangdong, a major power-consuming province, to proactively address the situation. In response to recent power shortages, various districts in Shunde, Foshan, have implemented policies and measures, offering substantial subsidies to encourage the use of self-generation technologies such as photovoltaics, wind power, and energy storage, ensuring orderly electricity consumption for businesses.

 

Leliu: Subsidies of up to 300,000 yuan are available for purchasing high-end energy storage equipment.

 

To encourage enterprises to use electricity in an orderly manner, ensuring that enterprises maintain production and achieve high efficiency, Leliu Subdistrict plans to issue the "Eight Support Measures to Encourage Orderly Electricity Use by Enterprises in Leliu Subdistrict." These measures will allocate targeted fiscal funds. These measures will encourage industrial enterprises above designated size to actively procure their own fuel (or gas) generators and implement independent power generation. Newly purchased generators used for production and operation will receive a one-time subsidy. Enterprises will also be encouraged to purchase equipment using advanced energy storage technologies, with subsidies for individual enterprises capped at 300,000 yuan. Enterprises will also be encouraged to build new photovoltaic power generation equipment and establish a green channel for project approvals to improve the efficiency of these projects.

 

Daliang: No less than 10 million yuan in fiscal funds will be allocated.

 

To alleviate the power supply shortage in the area and ensure electricity needs for people's daily lives and economic development, Daliang Subdistrict has issued the "Daliang Subdistrict Office's Work Plan to Encourage Orderly Electricity Use by Industrial Enterprises Above Designated Size." The plan allocates no less than 10 million yuan in fiscal funds to strengthen power supply capacity in the short term, alleviate power supply and demand imbalances, help businesses overcome power shortages, and effectively safeguard the sustained and stable economic development of the region.

 

Newly purchased or leased generators of 100 kilowatts or larger for production and operation will receive a one-time cash subsidy or rental subsidy; self-generated electricity will receive a fuel subsidy; enterprises actively developing clean energy generation such as photovoltaic and wind power will receive a 10% subsidy based on actual investment; and large commercial users who actively cooperate in energy conservation will be rewarded. Individual enterprises can receive up to 200,000 yuan in subsidies.

 

Beijiao: An initial 20 million yuan allocation will promote the "Nighttime Production Action Plan."

 

Beijiao Town has established a leadership group for orderly power consumption management and formulated a work plan. The plan strictly follows a sequence of customer-driven shift work, emergency peak avoidance, unplanned power rationing, and power outages.

 

Beijiao will promote a "Nighttime Production Action Plan," offering a one-time subsidy of up to 100,000 yuan to industrial enterprises above designated size that actively implement nighttime production. Notably, Beijiao plans to invest 20 million yuan initially, capping individual enterprises at 300,000 yuan, to reward and subsidize energy conservation and green use. Enterprises that provide their own power generation equipment or build new photovoltaic power generation equipment will also receive corresponding incentives.

 

To provide targeted services, Beijiao will open a communication channel for enterprises on peak-shifting schedules, accurately compile and publish peak-shifting schedules in advance, fully consult with enterprises, and rationally adjust their production schedules to maximize their overall electricity efficiency. Beijiao will also develop tailored peak-shifting and avoidance plans for enterprises with an industrial output value of over 1 billion yuan and safety-related businesses in the town, ensuring that forced power usage is avoided, effectively helping these enterprises rationally coordinate production.

 

The Beijiao Town Government plans to introduce a series of support measures, as follows:

 

(I) Promoting the "Nighttime Production Action Plan." A one-time subsidy of up to 100,000 yuan will be offered to industrial enterprises above designated size that actively implement nighttime production.

 

(2) Encourage enterprises to equip themselves with power generation equipment. Subsidies will be provided to manufacturing enterprises that purchase or lease generators with a certain power capacity or above, based on actual power generation.

Ronggui: Encouraging the R&D and production of high-end energy storage and other projects

 

The district has officially released the "Ronggui Subdistrict Green Energy Conservation Initiative" and the "Ronggui Subdistrict Ten Measures to Encourage Orderly Power Use by Enterprises." The "Ronggui Subdistrict Green Energy Conservation Initiative" encourages not only businesses and institutions but also citizens to join the green energy conservation and electricity conservation movement. Ronggui Subdistrict advocates setting indoor air conditioning temperatures no lower than 26°C in summer and promptly shutting down unnecessary air conditioners, lighting, and other electrical equipment during peak hours. According to the requirements, when orderly electricity consumption is initiated, relevant manufacturing enterprises should voluntarily cooperate and participate in orderly electricity consumption.

 

The "Ronggui Subdistrict Ten Measures to Encourage Orderly Electricity Consumption by Enterprises" provides incentives and subsidies based on both "increasing revenue" and "reducing expenditure." On the one hand, enterprises are encouraged to generate their own electricity, build new photovoltaic power generation equipment, purchase electricity quotas through various channels, and participate in market-based electricity demand response. On the other hand, enterprises are encouraged to "shaving peaks and filling valleys." Large electricity users are encouraged to implement energy-saving measures, utilize cold storage for energy-saving purposes, and implement energy-saving technology upgrades for existing production processes and equipment. It is reported that the Ronggui Subdistrict government plans to allocate 6 million yuan specifically to support orderly electricity consumption by enterprises, with individual enterprises eligible for subsidies of up to 300,000 yuan. The Ronggui Subdistrict Economic Development Office will develop specific application guidelines.

 

Furthermore, according to the "Ten Measures to Encourage Orderly Electricity Consumption by Enterprises in Ronggui Subdistrict," enterprises whose total electricity consumption exceeded 10 million kWh in the previous year can submit orderly electricity consumption plans to government departments based on their actual electricity usage characteristics. This means that even high-energy-consuming enterprises can propose personalized electricity consumption and conservation plans based on their actual conditions and implement them after consultation with relevant government departments.

 

The following ten measures are being implemented by Ronggui Subdistrict:

 

1. Encouraging enterprises to implement self-generation. For dedicated transformer users with an installed generator capacity of 200 kilowatts or more, generating electricity during off-peak hours, subsidies will be provided based on the electricity savings from the previous normal electricity consumption day and the enterprise's contribution to the local economy in the previous year. The monthly subsidy cap for a single enterprise will not exceed 200,000 yuan.

 

2. Enterprises' self-generated electricity during off-peak hours will be used as a reference for appropriate adjustments to the enterprise's safety load on off-peak days.

 

3. Enterprises are encouraged to "shaving peaks and filling valleys" by utilizing off-peak hours (based on billing periods) for production. If these off-peak hours are no less than 150,000 kWh per month, a subsidy of 0.1 yuan per kWh will be provided, based on the off-peak electricity consumption of the previous normal day. The monthly subsidy for each enterprise will not exceed 30,000 yuan.

 

4. Large-scale commercial complexes, hotels, office buildings, and other major electricity users in the tertiary industry are encouraged to implement electricity conservation measures. Those that are implemented and show significant results will be rewarded. The maximum monthly subsidy for each enterprise will not exceed 100,000 yuan.

 

5. Enterprises are encouraged to build new photovoltaic power generation equipment. For newly installed capacity of 500 kilowatts or more, the subsidy for each enterprise will not exceed 300,000 yuan, depending on the time of grid connection and the actual power generation.
