Gansu Uses Price Lever to Promote Energy Saving and Emission Reduction of Enterprises

According to a recent meeting held in Gansu Province, Gansu Province made full use of price levers to promote corporate pollution reduction and then implemented practical measures to continue to implement differentiated power tariffs for high-energy-consuming industries and raise the standard of urban sewage treatment fees to the level of low-maintenance and low-cost conservation. We will also increase funding support for pollution reduction. This year's budget has included 50 million yuan of special funds for pollution reduction.

From January 1, 2008, Gansu increased the adjustment of sewage treatment charges to the level of guaranteed capital and low profit.
