District Cooling Development in Guangdong Province
WHAT
The Guangdong “Green and Efficient Cooling Action Plan (2023–2035)” represents a major push to accelerate district cooling initiatives as part of China's "Dual-Carbon" strategy, offering opportunities for industry players.
HOW
The development of district cooling has experienced a significant acceleration since China’s adoption of the “Dual-Carbon” strategy in 2020. Several projects have been identified through publicly available sources. The “Green and Efficient Cooling Action Plan” outlines ambitious goals for improving cooling energy efficiency and expanding digitalization in cooling systems.
Key objectives of the Plan include:
- Enhancing the energy efficiency of cooling systems in large public structures and industrial parks by 20%.
- Elevating the overall energy efficiency of cooling systems by 25%, with a target of achieving a 20%+ adoption rate of digital smart control systems in refrigeration plants, cooling systems, and among end users. Additionally, aiming to notably boost satisfaction rates for district cooling services.
Key actions include:
- Organizing energy efficiency assessments and benchmarking for district cooling projects and establishing industry benchmarks.
- Support in the implementation of district cooling renovation projects at appropriate sites, which include commercial clusters, industrial parks, administrative hubs, leisure and resort areas, and other locations with notable cooling requirements.
This plan provides Swedish companies with opportunities to offer advanced cooling technologies, energy efficiency solutions, and digital control systems that align with Guangdong's vision
Since 2012, district energy has been as a focused area for promotion in the Chinese market. Currently, there are ongoing discussions regarding the promotion plan for district energy and energy-focused building technologies.
