为响应中国政府促进电力需求侧管理、提高能效的举措,中国电网公司、政府机构和私营企业纷纷在各地建立了节能数据平台,用来确定和验证节能量。数据平台所收集的能源使用数据,最终将形成一种宝贵的国家资源,提供对中国能源使用状况独到的见解。这些信息将提供至关重要的参考依据,帮助政府制定政策,在中国经济发展的同时,实现节能减排的战略目标。本文旨在对目前正在建立的各种数据平台该如何设置提出建议,以最大限度地发挥其有效性。… View Summary +
In November 2010, China’s National Development and Reform Commission issued a guidance document that requires grid companies in China to carry out demand-side management (DSM) activities to achieve specified targets for reductions in electricity sales (GWh) and peak demand (MW). View Summary +
In this commentary for Climate Spectator, RAP senior advisor David Crossley set the record straight on China’s energy efficiency accomplishments. Since the 1980’s, the Chinese government has established a series of wide-reaching energy conservation and energy efficiency policies. As a… View Summary +
Measures using demand-side resources comprise actions taken on the customer’s side of the meter to change the amount and/or timing of electricity use in ways that will provide benefits to the electricity supply system. Nearly four decades of experience in… View Summary +
这篇文章是睿博能源智库关于强制性节能政策(EEO)综合报告中对最佳实践的总结。世界各国政府一直努力通过设计和实施一些强制性节能政策提高终端能源利用效率,并实现其他相关的目标。这些机制要求能源供应商例如电力和燃气公司通过帮助用户实施终端节能措施来实现量化节能目标。全文报告分析了世界各地所采用的19种EEO政策机制。其中包括对中国2011年1月开始施行的电力需求侧管理办法的详细描述。全文报告用一张表格汇总并对这19种EEO政策的主要设计参数进行了对比。采纳这些最佳实践能够增强EEO政策的有效性,以最佳的成本效益提高能源效率。全文报告的英文版下载链接:… View Summary +
2011年1月,中国建立了一套实施能效的新机制,要求两大电网公司来承担节能义务。这一机制融合在现有的通过中央制定能效目标并由各级政府和所选单个企业来完成目标的节能系统中。这个报告基于国际经验,给出了我们对中国政府监督电网公司开展需求侧管理工作的意见。虽然电网公司有能力有效地开展节能工作,但是他们缺乏良好的记录并且节能义务与电网公司内在利益并不一致,所以政府的监管非常重要。电网公司实施能效项目与现有的节能系统同样有潜力取得成功。但是如果想这个潜力充分发挥出来,中国应该建立政府对电网企业需求侧管理工作强有力的监督程序。这个报告中的建议就是为了帮助建立这些程序。… View Summary +
In January 2011, China established a new delivery mechanism for energy efficiency when it placed energy efficiency obligations on the two large grid companies that supply electricity to end-use customers. This mechanism joins the already successful system of establishing energy… View Summary +
Australia’s Clean Energy Future Plan is a comprehensive set of national policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and driving investments in clean energy. At its core is a carbon pricing mechanism that commenced on 1 July 2012 and covers… View Summary +
This document is a summary that presents the best practices identified in a comprehensive RAP report on energy efficiency obligations (EEOs). Governments in various jurisdictions around the world have endeavored to improve end-use energy efficiency, and in some cases also… View Summary +
An energy efficiency obligation (EEO) is a regulatory mechanism that requires obligated parties to meet quantitative energy saving targets by delivering or procuring eligible energy savings produced by implementing approved end-use energy efficiency measures. Governments in various jurisdictions around the… View Summary +
This paper presents a brief history of activity since 1992 in developing and implementing policy and regulatory initiatives aimed at increasing demand-side participation in the Australian National Electricity Market. Three main groups have developed and implemented policy and regulatory initiatives:… View Summary +
This paper is a summary of market-based mechanisms to achieve energy policy goals in China and elsewhere. These goals include targets for energy consumption, energy efficiency or carbon emissions. The authors draw on international experience – including from Europe, the… View Summary +
