能效电厂计算器是一款对能效项目进行成本效益分析的实用工具,主要用于能效电厂的设计、评估,从而指导能效的投资决策和电力规划。The Regulatory Assistance Project, in partnership with the Energy Foundation and Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), commissioned E3, a consulting firm in San Francisco, to develop an energy efficiency assessment calculator tailored for use in China. This calculator is available free of charge, operates in Chinese, and is intended to be useful to Chinese policymakers concerned with energy efficiency, administrators of portfolios of energy efficiency projects, and managers of energy service companies. Because energy efficiency portfolios are typically called “energy efficiency power plants” (EPPs) in China, the calculator is often referred to as the “EPP Calculator.”
