The programme covers approximately two-thirds of China’s total energy consumption and about 15,000 industrial enterprises that use more than 10,000 tonnes of coal equivalent (tce) per year, 160 large transportation enterprises, and public buildings, hotels and commercial enterprises that use more than 5,000 tce per year. The goal of the programme is to save 250 million tce by 2015, per Institute for Industrial Productivity, “Energy Management System Requirements under the Top-10,000 Program,” 2015, http:// www.iipnetwork.org/databases/programs/energy-management- system-requirements-under-top-10000-program. 65 DOE, Industrial Energy Efficiency: Designing Effective State Programs for the Industrial Sector (Washington, DC: March 2014), http://www.energy.gov/eere/amo/downloads/industrial-energy- efficiency-designing-effective-state-programs-industrial-sector. 66 IEA, op. cit. note 54. 67 USD 14,147 (PLN 50,000) if annual building energy use is 15 kWh/ m² or lower; USD 8,488 (PLN 30,000) if building energy use is 40 kWh/m² or lower, per IEA, op. cit. note 54. 68 The programme is called GAZELA, from ibid. 69 United States from DOE, EERE, “Tax Incentives Information Center,” https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/taxcenter.shtml, viewed 7 April 2015; France from International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation (IPEEC), personal communication with REN21, 25 March 2015. 70 Invest in Turkey, “Investment Incentives Expanded to Cover Energy Efficiency Projects” (Ankara: Republic of Turkey Prime Ministry Investment Support and Promotion Agency, 20 June 2014), http://www.invest.gov.tr/en-US/infocenter/news/ Pages/200614-turkey-energy-saving-investment-incentives.aspx. 71 IEA, op. cit. note 54.
