China sets 2014 target cuts for energy use and emissions to boost efficiency - Natural Gas | Platts News Article & Story
China aims to cut energy intensity by over 3.9% this year, as it continues its drive to increase energy efficiency and cut emissions, according to a government work report delivered by Premier Li Keqiang Wednesday at the annual session of the National People's Congress.
China's energy intensity was cut by 3.7% last year, according to the work report.
A country's energy intensity is typically defined as the energy consumption per unit of GDP, according to the US Energy Information Administration. The higher the energy efficiency is in an economy, the lower the energy intensity.

Government mulls energy efficiency audits - The Standard
KUDZAI CHIMHANGWA
The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (Zera) has already engaged a
consulting firm, Sustainable African Energy Consortium (Saec) to
conduct a national energy efficiency audit for Zimbabwe.
Director for Energy Conservation in the ministry of Energy and Power
Development, Raphael Tirivanhu said the ministry, through Zera, would
carry out a national energy efficiency audit so as to determine the
national efficiency baseline. This would ultimately lead to the
formulation of an energy efficiency strategy for the country.
“The purpose of the energy efficiency strategy will be to promote
mandatory energy audits and regulate energy efficiency and conservation
in all energy demand sectors as well as promote investment in this
area,” he said.
