The “Sino-US Workshop on NOx Emissions Control” was held in Kunming, China, on September 25-26, 2012. The purpose of the workshop was to enhance the exchange of ideas between China and the US, and to improve the total emissions control… View Summary +

In this paper, RAP extracts information from our work in six states in the U.S. to examine state practices for integrated resource planning and energy efficiency. We examine how these state practices work together and are in some cases converging. View Summary +

When energy regulators plan, approve utility investments, and make other regulatory decisions without incorporating environmental considerations, ultimately more costly supply options or solutions can be chosen, opportunities for less costly options can be passed by, and money, time, and resources… View Summary +

Measures using demand-side resources comprise actions taken on the customer’s side of the meter to change the amount and/or timing of electricity use in ways that will provide benefits to the electricity supply system. Nearly four decades of experience in… View Summary +

本文借鉴国际经验与最佳实践，提供对中国电力体制改革下一步的建议。我们对电力改革的建议涉及六个关键领域：（1）规划与竞争；（2）发电；（3）煤炭质量；（4）销售电价；（5）电网公司；（6）机构与管理。世界各地的政府都在尝试用不同的方式解决电力可靠性问题，提高终端能效，扩大可再生能源的使用并保证可再生能源并网。虽然中国的情况与世界上大部分国家不同，国际经验仍然能够帮助中国做出更好的选择，避免不必要的问题。… View Summary +

Energy issues are environmental issues, and environmental issues increasingly are energy issues. This link is inescapable: energy decisions have profound environmental and public health impacts, and energy-related emissions are changing the heat balance of Earth. The purpose of this paper… View Summary +

In October 2012, the European Parliament and Council adopted the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) to provide a stronger legal framework for Member States, energy companies, businesses, and consumers to capture a growing fraction of the cost-effective energy efficiency potential still… View Summary +

这篇文章是睿博能源智库关于强制性节能政策（EEO）综合报告中对最佳实践的总结。世界各国政府一直努力通过设计和实施一些强制性节能政策提高终端能源利用效率，并实现其他相关的目标。这些机制要求能源供应商例如电力和燃气公司通过帮助用户实施终端节能措施来实现量化节能目标。全文报告分析了世界各地所采用的19种EEO政策机制。其中包括对中国2011年1月开始施行的电力需求侧管理办法的详细描述。全文报告用一张表格汇总并对这19种EEO政策的主要设计参数进行了对比。采纳这些最佳实践能够增强EEO政策的有效性，以最佳的成本效益提高能源效率。全文报告的英文版下载链接：… View Summary +

In this December 5, 2012 webinar, Chris Kramer and Glenn Reed of Energy Futures Group identify ten significant design issues for energy efficiency potential studies. When handled improperly, potential studies lead to flawed results. Given that these are nearly always… View Summary +
