(1) The Beijing Municipal Government has issued a notification (京政农发〔2024〕51号) to support rural residents in Beijing to upgrade their heating equipment from coal to electricity. The notification is based on two previous documents: the National Development and Reform Commission's notice on the implementation of the "Energy Key Fields Large-Scale Equipment Update Scheme" (发改办能源〔2024〕687号) and the Beijing Municipal Government's notice on the implementation of the "Beijing City Large-Scale Support for Equipment Update and Product Replacement Scheme" (京发改规〔2024〕5号).
(2) The notification states that rural residents who have been receiving government subsidies for coal heating can apply for a subsidy to upgrade to a low-environmental-temperature air-source heat pump water heater with a first-class energy efficiency rating. The subsidy will cover 40% of the product's sales price, with a maximum subsidy of 6,000 yuan per household.
(3) The notification also outlines the requirements for the upgraded equipment, including a recent inspection report from a national-level quality inspection institution, and the need for the equipment to meet the performance requirements for low-environmental-temperature air-source heat pump water heaters (see Annex 1).
(4) The notification requires each district to establish a detailed process for applying for and reviewing subsidy applications, and to ensure that subsidy funds are disbursed promptly. To facilitate the process, districts can use the "Rural Heating Update Assistant" WeChat mini-program to apply for and review subsidy applications.
(5) The notification emphasizes the importance of organizing and leading the upgrade work, promoting policy awareness, and strengthening supervision and management. It requires each district to take responsibility for implementing the subsidy policy, to establish a clear process for applying for and reviewing subsidy applications, and to ensure that subsidy funds are used properly.
(6) The notification also emphasizes the need to promote policy awareness through various channels, including government websites, radio and television, and social media, and to ensure that subsidy funds are used in accordance with the law.
