Energy-saving situation ‘very serious’ for Hubei, Shaanxi, Gansu and Qinghai, which are failing to keep up with goals under 14th five-year plan, National Development and Reform Commission says.
Beijing has warned planning officials from four provinces over âlaxâ oversight of energy-saving goals, with some regions failing to evaluate the impact of âhigh emissionâ and âlow qualityâ projects.
The provinces of Hubei, Shaanxi, Gansu and Qinghai have been warned over slow progress towards energy efficiency goals, economic planning body the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said in an online statement released on Saturday.
Officials from the bodyâs environmental resources department held a series of meetings over the past week with local NDRC representatives from the four provinces to issue the warnings, the statement said.
