exceed its target, because of the relocation of a major steel company to Hebei
province (coastal) and a major coking and chemical plant to Shanxi province
(inland). But these changes make it more difficult for Hebei and Shanxi to
meet their targets. In the Reference Scenario, the average energy intensity of
the coastal region continues to decline rapidly, by 2.8% per year over 2005-
2030. In the Reference Scenario, energy intensity declines by 15% between
2005 and 2010. Preliminary energy intensity data for 2006 show that while
intensity has declined overall, most areas have further to go before meeting
their targets. In only two provinces – Beijing and Fujian – did the actual
decline in intensity in that year meet or exceed the targeted rate of decline
(Figure 13.4). The coastal region is the key driver for economic growth in
China and will lead the rest of the country from an investment-driven
economy to a consumption-driven one. Investments in energy efficiency on
