Renewable energy integration in China is an urgent and complex problem, requiring solutions in planning, policy, market design, regulation, operations (dispatch), and resource flexibility. All of these have a role to play in increasing system flexibility to support higher penetrations… View Summary +
Institutions and practices for power sector planning are the foundation for cost-effective investment and environmental sustainability. The main challenge is to shift the Chinese power sector away from the old model, in which meeting rapid demand growth was the prime consideration,… View Summary +
Despite an ongoing and complex debate over market design, and differences in models across the U.S., European Union, and other places, there is a significant degree of consensus on the basic principles regarding what markets are supposed to do. Based on a review of practices, the authors find that policymakers generally agree… View Summary +
Document #9 calls for better governance and regulation, especially with respect to regulatory capacity, regulatory methods, and system planning. China’s adoption of revenue-based rate-making for transmission and distribution systems is one important step toward this goal. As the reform… View Summary +

Z 50 najbardziej zanieczyszczonych w UE miast, 33 znajduje się w Polsce. Konieczne jest pilne zajęcie się tematem modernizacji ciepłownictwa. W innym razie powietrze w kolejnych latach nie tylko nie będzie poprawiać, ale może być coraz bardziej zanieczyszczone – mówi Jan… View Summary +
The cost of clean energy technologies is declining dramatically. While impressive reductions have already taken shape, all signs point in the direction of further improvements, in many cases merging with digital solutions, driving electrification, innovation and competition in energy… View Summary +
According to the European Commission, the principle of “Efficiency First” is at the heart of the EU Energy Union’s strategy to transition to a low-carbon economy. Maroš Šefčovič, vice president of the Energy Union, has applauded energy efficiency as a… View Summary +
Deutschland und der US-Bundesstaat Kalifornien sind seit Jahren Vorreiter der Energiewende in ihren jeweiligen Regionen. Beide setzten ambitionierte Ziele für die Dekarbonisierung der Energiewirtschaft und schreiten konsequent voran – und haben daher einen großen, gegenseitigen Bedarf für den Informationsaustausch. Um… View Summary +
China’s 13th Five-Year Plan includes goals to establish electricity markets and deepen progress toward improving air quality. But achieving the plan’s energy and environmental targets could result in unintended consequences, including increased pollution, shifting pollution from one region to another,… View Summary +
在世界上许多国家,电力公司都将终端能源效率作为满足客户对能源服务需求的一种资源。提高能效被视为代替供应侧资源投入(如建设发电厂和扩大电网)的一种具有成本效益的解决方案。提高能效对中国有双重贡献:它既能够以较低成本解决一些地区对能源服务的需求,同时也能为实现改善空气质量的目标做出重要贡献。节能减排的概念在中国家喻户晓,中国在支持能效的各种政策方面也成绩斐然。然而,借鉴国际经验,可以通过多种途径将这一概念更好地落实到电力行业的详细规划过程中。… View Summary +
Energy efficiency is a cost-effective alternative to investing in supply-side resources, such as building power plants and expanding the electricity grid. Using energy efficiency as a power system resource is particularly important in China, where air pollution from coal-fired power plants… View Summary +
