Declining costs for electric vehicles (EVs) make the prospect of a surge in EVs on the power system seem imminent. Policymakers are understandably excited at the prospect of decarbonising road transport, and the grid services that EV’s can provide. In the rush to plan for more EVs, many are focusing on incentivising new investment in distribution networks to ac...
In a RAP webinar held on 31 January 2018, Christos Kolokathis and Andreas Jahn demonstrated how smart network tariff design is a powerful tool to help regulators meet Europe's Energy Union goals....
This article, published by Energy Research & Social Science, unpacks the institutional bottlenecks and path dependency holding back the energy transition in Gujarat and Rajasthan. As heavily-indebted electricity distribution companies in Rajasthan seek to emulate thriving counterparts in Gujarat and turn to technology adoption, efficiency enhancement, and l...
John Shenot discussed key principles of equitable rate design at a Colorado Public Utilities Commission meeting in Denver, CO....
In a presentation for the Harvard Electricity Policy Group in Palm Beach, Florida, Carl Linvill outlined principles for well-designed commercial and industrial rates for the evolving, interactive grid....
At the ASHRAE Winter Conference in Chicago, Illinois, David Farnsworth discussed the beneficial electrification of previously fossil-fueled end uses, and how this outcome can be ensured and measured. ...
Network charges—the fees paid by consumers to cover the costs for power lines and other network assets and services—are steadily increasing across Europe. In one respect, this is not surprising, as these costs are expected to increase as the network is updated to accommodate new distributed activities, such as electric vehicle charging and distributed generat...
John Shenot explored the innovative application of decoupling in the evolving power sector, including a comprehensive review of multiple state approaches, during a half-day workshop hosted by Electric Utility Consultants Inc. (EUCI) in Denver, Colorado....
In a presentation for the Consortium for Energy Efficiency's winter meeting in San Francisco, California, Richard Sedano explored power sector transformation, its implications for energy efficiency programs, and how utility program administration staff can help their organizations adapt to the industry transformation for the benefit of customers....
