Supermarkets for Energy-Saving Products
(Post: English)
21 varieties and over 300 types of energy-saving products including energy-saving doors, windows and cookers were put on sale. Because of policy support, prices for these products are a little more than 10 percent lower than the prices of similar products on the market.
"If you use this energy-saving bulb for 3 to 4 hours per day, it only costs around 1 yuan every year."
In the energy-saving supermarket located within the Suning Appliance Anzhen Bridge East Store, a salesman was introducing product advantages to customers.
The reporter saw that there were all kinds of energy-saving products in the supermarket, including television sets, fridges, washing machines, air conditioners, bulbs and plug bases being displayed in the 200 square meter energy-saving product sales area.
Reporters learned that only products which possess at least 1 of the following 4 qualifications can be sold in the supermarkets:
1) the product possesses a valid "energy-saving" certification mark.
2) the product's energy efficiency reaches the national standard level II or above and the product's energy efficiency level has been put on record.
3) the product possess a valid energy-saving product certificate of provincial, ministerial, autonomous region or municipality level.
4) the products which have been listed on the "first batch of energy-saving products to be sold in supermarkets" and have steady performance and high energy efficiency can take the expert examination organized by Beijing Energy Saving and Environmental Protection Center (BEEC). If it passes the examination, it can be sold in the supermarkets.
"Launching the pilot "energy-saving products coming into supermarkets" project can on the one hand, stimulate green consumption and increase energy efficiencies of terminal energy-using products, and can also increase the selling channels of energy-saving products and expand their market share."
Officials of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Development and Reform said that Beijing's pilot project of "energy-saving products coming into supermarkets" has been planned to last 3 years.
Beijing will strive to expand the project to all of its 8 urban districts in 2010 and to the entire city in 2011 when every district or county in Beijing will have at least one energy-saving supermarket.
