A list of "Ten thousand energy-saving and low-carbon industrial enterprises" in China was announced. Eleven enterprises including the China Huaneng Group's Dandong branch and Fenghui Industry Group in Dandong were on the list because they will save 175,000 tons of standard coal in the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-15).

Since a large emphasis is put on energy savings and emissions reduction, up to eleven enterprises have been put under national energy management instead of just three during the 11th Five-Year Plan (2011-15). The enterprises will improve the energy management system, carry out energy auditing, and work out energy-saving plans to greatly reduce consumption. The central and local governments will provide support for energy saving technology projects to accelerate the elimination of high consumption equipment and products.
