Loud launched in 2009. Russian translation project for energy-efficient rail risks come to nothing. And the power struggle with incandescent bulbs can be completed, though subtle but confident victory of the latter. The State Duma is already preparing a bill to repeal the ban on the sale of incandescent light bulbs.
No high-tech
One of the first signs of this “victory” were changes in the St. Petersburg “Optogan” – only Russian company that has a complete production cycle of the LEDs. A few months ago, “RUSNANO” (major shareholder) announced its intention to completely abandon the direction of high-tech in this venture, leaving him with the production of finished LED chips and sell them.
When the founders of the “Optogan” Maxim Odnoblyudov Alexei Bucket and Vladislav Bougrov left the business, returning to scientific activity, and it became clear that high-tech to “Optogan” will not, in the press-service of the company on the issue RBC on the further development strategy responded: “The main task for 2014 – access to profitability. As part of the program to improve the efficiency of assets planned to expand production site lighting and modernization of the production of LEDs on the current area of the plant, but global change is foreseen ».
No one is going to
But “global changes” planned for the State Duma. Today the newspaper “Izvestia” wrote that the State Duma Committee on Energy is preparing a bill to repeal the ban on the sale of incandescent lamps. On this “News” said committee member Andrew cool. Earlier, a ban on the 100 watt lamp, in 2013 it was planned to introduce a similar ban on incandescent 75-watt or more, and in 2014 was supposed to completely abandon the incandescent bulbs and switch to energy-saving lamps. This item deputies propose to abolish.
«We have received a number of calls from citizens, for them the cost of new energy-efficient light bulbs prohibitive – they often ten or more times more expensive than conventional incandescent bulbs, while in the past years we have not seen the promised savings in power consumption, – quote “Izvestia” Krutova. – This is not surprising: the effect of energy-saving lamps obsolete and completely leveled energoneeffektivnym industrial equipment, power lines, in which occurs the lion’s share of energy losses. It turns out that due to the population we are trying to improve the energy efficiency of aging infrastructure, which in the end no one is going to change. ” In addition, said the deputy, many experts say a significant harm to the nature of the energy-saving lamps.
The Chairman of the Duma Committee on Energy Ivan Grachev support the bill: “I think that it should be taken. Replacing incandescent light bulbs with new bulbs are not always effective ».
LED Hope
The ban on incandescent light bulbs was adopted in 2009. on the initiative of Dmitry Medvedev, who at the time served as president. The next year in Russia was formed professional association of NP MSS (Nonprofit Partnership LED manufacturers and systems based on them). The association, in addition to “Optogan”, entered the St. Petersburg JSC “Svetlana-Optoelectronics”, LLC “Focus”, LLC “Planar-Lighting technology”, “Plant” Lighting Technologies “, JSC” Production Association “Elektrotochpribor», CJSC «Communication Engineering M “LLC,” INTESSO “, LLC” ECOlight “(” LiderLayt trade “).
According to experts, the LED industry has developed in Russia since the beginning too slow. Nicholas Radomski, a senior fellow at the Faculty of Geography in one of his articles published on Aenergy, believed that the development of the Russian market of LED lighting is largely hindered by the lack of system of complex legal and regulatory framework. According to him, the law banning light bulbs is not enough – you must still need to develop national and industry standards, improve hygiene rules and regulations, methods of control. In addition, it is necessary to establish independent testing centers that will reliably demonstrate compliance with the standards and requirements. “Today, in the interest only national producers. State represented by the Ministry of Industry and Trade in this area is doing nothing, “- he wrote.
Another reason for failure – is the high cost of energy-efficient lighting technologies (at a low cost of electricity). Radomski points out that the price of the final product begins to seriously affect the value of the driver supply, construction of the luminaire. That is only the drop in the value of chips will not have a decisive influence on the price of the final product, and the problem of high cost of LED fixtures must be addressed comprehensively.
Other factors that slow down the LED “breakthrough” – a low demand for innovative solutions to Russian companies, errors in the manufacture of lighting systems, insufficient number of qualified personnel, and so on. G.
Help
A phased ban on the production and import of incandescent lamps in Europe there since 2009. : First, were banned 100-watt lamp and then the lamp less power. From October this year, restrictions on the production and consumption of incandescent lamps come into force in China.
