Electric Motor Systems Energy-Saving
Challenge in China
Project Background
According to the "China Medium and Long-Term Energy
Conservation Plan", electric motor systems account for 60% of
the total electricity consumption in China. The actual operational
efficiency of electric motor systems is, depending on the
industry, 10–30% below international standards. Certain sectors
are particularly intensive users of motors but are often unaware
of the huge potential energy savings and quick return on
investment of upgraded motor systems. The standards, labels
and regulatory mechanism for electric motors in China urgently
need to be revised, to remove low-efficiency motors and
encourage the market for high performers.
Project Objectives
Facilitate over 400 major industrial users of electric motor
systems to improve the operating efficiency of their systems and
achieve a far-reaching impact in the demand for high-efficiency
motor systems, while actively supporting the creation of a
stimulating policy environment.
Project Activities
• Establishment of the China Motor Systems Challenge Club;
• 8 large workshops with motor system users to communicate
the benefits of upgraded motor systems;
• 3 large workshops with motor system producers on new
standards;
• 2 annual award ceremonies to give recognition to excellent
cases of energy-savings, with large media c
