在《国民经济和社会发展第十一个五年规划纲要（草案）》中提出“十一五”期间单位国内生产总值能源消耗降低20％左右，这标志着我国的经济增长模式正在从传统工业化向新型工业化转变。由于“十五”期间产业结构趋重，工业能源消费占全国能源消费总量的比重由2001年的68.63%逐步提高到2005年的71%左右，而其中最为突显的是钢铁工业的急剧增长，五年内钢产量由12.850×10⁴t增加到35.239×10⁴t，翻了1番多，年均增长速度高达22.36%，2005年钢铁工业能源消费量占工业能源消费总量的21%，因此，钢铁工业的重点耗能企业在实现GDP能耗下降20%的目标过程中如何实现增产又节能的可持续发展，对整个工业行业乃至全国有着重要的借鉴意义。通过对武汉钢铁公司的调研分析,总结出4条钢铁企业节能工作的启示和经验。

In March 2006，《The Outline of the 11th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and social Development (Profile)》stated that energy consumption per unit of GDP will be reduced by about 20% in “The 11th Five-year Plan ” period，which indicates the economic growth is transferring from conventional industrialization to new pattern. Due to the economic structure emerging with high energy intensity in “The 10th Five-year Plan”period, the proportion of energy consumption of industrial sector had gradually increased from 68.63% to about 71% of the national energy consumption. Apparently, iron and steel industry had experienced its rapid growth with the steel output increasing from 128.5 million tons to 352.39 million tons and the annual growth rate of 22.36% . Its energy consumption accounted for 21 % of the whole industrial energy consumption. Therefore, how to realize the sustainable development of increasing the output while reducing the energy consumption in those high-energy intensity enterprises would provide the good reference to the industrial sector, even to the whole country. Based on the investigation and analysis on WISCO, some important inspiration and experiences were summarized.
