6月上旬，美国环保署提出了一项温室气体减排法草案——“清洁电力计划”。因美国国会中有人反对立法限制温室气体排放，所以美国环保署只能在《清洁空气法案》赋予的监管权限范围内提出该草案。美国环保署预计，到2030年，该计划的实施可使美国电力行业比2005年减少30%的二氧化碳排放。美国要实现这一目标，发电企业每年需要减少二氧化碳排放约5亿吨。为此，该计划被认为是有史以来美国联邦政府在对抗全球变暖问题上做出的最大举动。无论如何，这一草案规划值得我们密切关注。就此，中国电力报记者朱怡对睿博能源智库(RAP)的中国和美国项目主任金珂瑞（Christopher James）以及高级经济师和项目主管戴翎松（Max Dupuy）进行了专访。他们一致认为，尽管该草案尚存不足，但其中的很多设计特点，特别是将能效作为资源的概念以及通过调整电厂调度减少排放的实践做法，可以给我国能源行业提供一些借鉴。… 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 +
Motivating power producers to plan for and develop enough capacity to meet the needs of customers during times of peak demand has been a challenge for power planners. A substantial portion of system capacity is needed for a relatively small… View Summary +

本报告研究表明，全球许多国家和地区的供电公司都在将终端能效作为资源，用于满足客户对能源服务的需求。能效被视为是一种具有成本效益的方案，可替代对供电侧资源的投资（比如建设发电厂和电网扩容）。本篇文章列出利用能效作为电力系统资源的一系列好处，并且强调这一点在中国尤为重要，因为能效可以为减少空气污染作出贡献。本文建议中国政府应该尽快开展行动，为电网公司利用能效作为电力系统资源扫除障碍，并且建立政策和监管机制来促使通过推广电网公司开展的能效项目， 将能效作为电力系统资源，实现节电和容量节约。 The English version is also available. View Summary +
