电力行业耗煤约占中国每年煤炭消费总量的一半。为此,中国要实现空气质量治理方面的宏伟目标,落实在煤炭消费控制、能源效率、可再生能源和碳排放方面的政策,电力行业必须在政策、法规、市场和经营模式方面做出改变。… View Summary +
电力需求侧管理杂志于2015年7月在环球揽萃栏目节选刊登了睿博能源智库受世界银行委托撰写的报告。基于对美国电力行业监管的经验,文章介绍了美国监管机构及其职能,并结合实例深入地阐述了美国在能效资源的获取、定价和融资以及与此相关的电网公司收入监管、激励机制方面的最佳实践。初步探究了需求响应和储能技术在美国的应用以及面临的挑战。文章的最后也简要地概括了美国区域温室气体减排行动(RGGI)特别是收入循环利用开发能效资源的经验。… View Summary +
Achieving Europe’s low-carbon goals while maintaining a competitive and secure power system requires a refined market designed to drive transformation at least cost. The Pentalateral Energy Forum, an initiative of Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, is… View Summary +
As part of its climate and energy package, Germany has set ambitious long-term goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent, primary energy consumption 50 percent, and power consumption 25 percent by 2050. Meeting these goals will require aggressive investment… View Summary +
Delivering investment for a reliable power supply to consumers at a reasonable cost has always been a central objective of power market design, and various approaches to this challenge have been adopted in Europe and elsewhere. Where a competitive wholesale… 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 +
This guide was prepared to assist anyone who needs to understand both the mechanics of a regulatory tool known as decoupling and the policy issues associated with its use. This would include public utility commissioners and staff, utility management, advocates… View Summary +
The majority of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be attributed to the production and use of energy. According to the World Resources Institute, more than 45 percent of GHG emissions in China stem from coal-fired power plants alone. As a… View Summary +
With increased interest in efficient, clean, customer-sited resources comes increased interest in the regulatory policies that affect their deployment. The economic viability of clean, distributed generation (DG) and, in particular, combined heat and power (CHP) facilities, heavily depends on the… View Summary +
This paper, presented at the NARUC Climate Change Conference, describes eight key policies that China has adopted in the electric sector to control its energy consumption and steer the country down a lower-carbon development path. View Summary +
In consultation with Chinese environmental officials on air pollution law and regulation, the authors of this report have prepared an in-depth analysis of U.S. and other international air regulation experience related to thirteen key issues. View Summary +
本文对美国东北部十个州共同合作的区域温室气体行动(RGGI)计划制定的背景和原则进行了详细的阐述,对首个排放权拍卖过程和结果进行了深入的分析。文中特别强调了RGGI在促使各参与州在法规规定的基准之上争取额外的减排量,以及将排放权拍卖获得的资金用于投资能效与其它减排方案这两大优点。… View Summary +
