Guangdong increases more than RMB 1 billion every year to support LED lighting policy and explode 2 million LED street lamps

A postponed meeting did not actually hide the Guangdong provincial government’s support for LED lighting. Last night, the China Semiconductor Lighting Network reporter learned from an authoritative person from the Guangdong provincial science and technology department that the Guangdong support for LED lighting has been “bigger” than before in the past three years. Annual increase of more than 1 billion yuan investment, this involves the application of 2 million LED street lamps.

The night before, the Chinese semiconductor lighting reporter received the news, originally scheduled for 3:00 PM on February 29th, Guangdong Province, the official for the province's LED lighting held a work conference canceled, when held in pending status. The unexpected delay of the meeting immediately triggered some speculations from the invited participants and the industry, and even triggered a strong concern in the capital market.

Last night, the above-mentioned authoritative sources disclosed that Guangdong Province's supportive policy document for LED lighting was originally issued at the meeting yesterday. However, due to “leaders have no time”, the meeting was postponed and it is expected to be the national “two sessions” before It was held, and the specific day was not dated, so this supporting policy document for LED lighting has not yet been issued.

Yesterday afternoon, there were rumors that the public lighting in Guangdong Province had adopted LED light sources since March 1. In response, the above-mentioned authorities replied that Guangdong Province “has always been doing under normal circumstances”. The implication is that in the tender procurement of street lamps in recent years, the science and technology departments and related parties have been promoting LED street lamp benchmark products. The authoritative person also stated that as long as the meeting is not open, the document still has the possibility of “modification” and there is “indefinite number”.

On February 20th, at the Guangdong Provincial Indoor Lighting Product Benchmarking and Training Conference held in Zhongshan City, Yundan Ping, Deputy Director of Development Planning Department of the Guangdong Provincial Science and Technology Department, disclosed to the participating company representatives for the first time at the end of the month (referring to At the meeting held on February 29th, the deputy governor-general and the city signed the responsibility letter. Within two years of the Pearl River Delta region, within three years of Guangdong Province, LED lighting was popularized in the public domain. Among them, the construction of the new district and the new community will use LED lighting, and all the projects invested by the government must use LED light sources.

The above-mentioned authoritative people mentioned the "original basis", that is, the previous policy to support LED lighting in Guangdong. According to statistics, as early as August 2011, Guangdong Province issued the "Opinions on Implementing the State Council's Deployment to Accelerate the Cultivation and Development of Strategic Emerging Industries." During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the provincial government has invested 22 billion yuan to support the development of three strategic emerging industries including high-end new electronic information, new energy vehicles, and semiconductor lighting (LED), among which the LED industry will take the lead in breakthroughs. In the same month, the Guangdong Province issued a “Newly Developed Industry Specialized Fund LED Industry Project Notice”. In that year, 450 million yuan was allocated to support the development of the LED industry. The funding scope of the LED lighting demonstration project includes both outdoor lighting and indoor lighting.

According to statistics, as of now, the province has installed more than 260,000 LED street lights, and the demonstration section has exceeded 2,500 kilometers. Guangdong Province has led the application of scale and promotion progress of LED lighting through demonstration projects.

Industry sources said that the delay in holding meetings and issuing documents as a sign that the Guangdong provincial government will unprecedentedly increase support for the use of LED lighting in the public sector will inevitably explode an unprecedented huge LED lighting market.
