Thanks in large part to some recent guidance and proposed federal regulations by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), state and local air pollution regulators have a growing interest in using energy efficiency (EE) as a strategy to improve air… View Summary +

Energy efficiency (EE) is generally recognized as a least-cost option. However, the details of designing programs do not always lend themselves to easy consensus. These details include program size, cost recovery mechanisms, lost revenues, cost-allocation, and incentives. Adding other clean… View Summary +

In June 2014, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued proposed greenhouse gas regulations called the Clean Power Plan. Because of opposition in the U.S. Congress to enacting legislation to limit greenhouse gas emissions, EPA used its existing regulatory… View Summary +

Half of Americans live in areas violating national health-based air quality standards. Coal- and gas-fired power plants are important contributors to the problem. The Clean Air Act has historically addressed power plants through regulation of smokestack emissions, employing “stovepiped,” pollutant-by-pollutant… View Summary +

This paper shows that, in several jurisdictions around the world, electricity utilities employ end-use energy efficiency as a resource in meeting their customers’ needs for energy services. Energy efficiency is seen as a cost-effective alternative to investing in supply-side resources,… View Summary +

This workbook is intended to serve as an illustrative model that shows how groups of energy efficiency measures can be bundled together to reduce energy demand, energy use in general, and ultimately the emissions that result from conventional power generation. View Summary +

中国电力报就“能效比供应侧资源更具有成本效益”这一相关主题对睿博能源智库的高级顾问 David Crossley 进行了采访。在采访中，David 介绍了电力需求侧这一概念，并提出将能效视为一种资源能带来诸多效益。通过与读者分享提高能效的国际经验，鼓励用户降低用电量、提高用电效率，建议对电网公司的角色和职责重新定位，以实现各自的节能目标。该采访于2014年8月11日出版。… View Summary +

The European Union’s (EU) Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Directive (2009/31/EC) establishes a legal framework for the environmentally safe geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) to contribute to mitigating climate change. In March 2013, the European Commission launched a consultative… View Summary +

Renewable energy is one of the four building blocks outlined in the EPA’s Clean Power Plan, and states are likely to rely upon the production of renewable energy as a part of their efforts to control carbon in the electric… View Summary +
