In line with a national initiative to save energy and drive green transformation, Luohu officially launched its Energy Conservation Week on June 15 with a conference to promote green technologies.

Held at the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Integration Exchange Center, the event brought together industry players and institutional representatives to exchange insights on the latest technologies and solutions in clean energy, green architecture, and industry-specific energy-saving practices. The conference also reviewed the district’s progress in green transformation over the past five years and outlined a clear roadmap for future development, spotlighting four application scenarios for green technologies.

The first scenario features an ultra‑fast charging station that integrates photovoltaic modules and energy storage systems. Leveraging AI for intelligent operations and maintenance, the station charges vehicles with green electricity and enables surplus power to be fed back into the grid.

The second involves connecting public institutions' central air‑conditioning systems to virtual power plants, with companies encouraged to participate in equipment retrofitting, load management, and grid peak‑shaving.

For the third, companies can bid for contracts to manage and retrofit public institutions' power systems under an energy‑expense contracting model: institutions pay a fixed annual fee, while service providers take full responsibility for system operation, retrofitting, and maintenance.

The fourth encourages the development of more near‑zero carbon pilot projects across parks, buildings, and public institutions.

From 2021 to 2025, Luohu has made notable strides in green transformation. Four 110 kV substations were put into operation, and the district now boasts a dense new energy vehicle charging network with over 33,000 charging piles, 1,359 charging stations, 101 ultra‑fast charging stations, and six flash‑charging stations. Meanwhile, the number of gas stations has been reduced to 22, with four more slated for phase‑out; electricity consumption has risen slightly, while oil consumption has continued to decline.

During this period, all 70 new building projects, totaling 5.5764 million square meters of floor space, met strict green building standards, with 87% rated as star‑level green buildings. A total of 1.31 million square meters of public buildings have undergone energy‑saving retrofits, supported by over 10 million yuan in government subsidies.

By the end of 2025, Luohu had 52.86 km of metro lines with 33 stations, alongside 136 bus routes, 525 bus stops, and 42 depots, with about 1,600 public transit vehicles in operation. Ride‑hailing services and e‑bikes add more green and convenient travel options.

Jintian Primary School, Shenzhen Children's Park, and Luohu District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital were recognized as Guangdong Province's first batch of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality pilot projects. Yulong Landfill, leveraging green technologies, has become a national EOD (Eco‑environmental Oriented Development) model.

With backing from ultra‑long‑term special treasury bonds, 334 old residential elevators were replaced in 2025. The Yinhu International Conference Center, which integrates photovoltaics, energy storage, and fuel cells, has cut carbon emissions by over 40%, bringing its intensity down to below 54 kg CO₂/(m²•a).
