为了兑现到 2035 年实现电力行业完全脱碳的承诺，美国已经采取了一系列行动。2023年5月，美国环保署发布了温室气体排放标准提案。该标准从当下成熟的技术入手，在满足资源充足性和碳减排要求的前提下，以合理成本减少化石能源的排放。自发布后，这项温室气体排放标准提案引起了行业的广泛关注，并激发了利益相关方的激烈讨论。本篇文章从温室气体排放标准的内容出发，阐述了美国电力系统减排的最新进展以及遇到的挑战。未来，在新技术和政策法律的支持下，美国会加速向清洁低碳的电力系统转型。中美在这方面的合作有着非常广阔的前景。… View Summary +

In a webinar discussion, Mark LeBel, Steve Kihm, Richard Sedano and Damali Harding highlighted a RAP paper exploring the policy, legal and financial aspects of performance incentive mechanisms and re-examined recent practices underlying cost-of-service ratemaking and the utility business… View Summary +
Part 1 of this blog highlighted the foresight of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative founders. These air and energy regulators acknowledged their uncertainty as to all the effects this new program might have on electricity ratepayers, and developed an… View Summary +
When the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative’s program review comes around, many of us at RAP think of it as a cause for celebration. Now, that may be because we are environmental protection and administrative law nerds. View Summary +
As electrification continues to gain momentum, the implications for system reliability will be profound. Not only is demand likely to grow, but daily and seasonal patterns of energy use may shift. The Midcontinent Independent System Operator, for one, has highlighted… View Summary +
Governments want to make sure the lights stay on during the most challenging moments of the year — think freezing cold days when the wind is not blowing and the sun hides behind grey clouds. Around Europe and further afield,… View Summary +
冬夏季的用电高峰时常让电力系统面临供应不足的风险。除却发电机组的基本调峰外，利用分时电价引导用户错峰用电通常是一种经济的选择。但在某些情况下，静态的分时电价可能无法灵活应对突发状况。相比之下，实时电价作为更“智能”的定价方式，通过揭示系统当前的供需和运行状况，能够及时反映系统在小时和分钟内的变化，使消费者得以根据实际的发电成本做出相应的用电调整。而在消费者方面，大型用户在管理和控制用电方面具有更高的灵活性，更容易适应实时电价机制。 本文简单概括了实时电价的运作方式，并参考北美的实践经验，提出在现有分时电价的基础上，为有管控和调节用电能力的大型用户增设实时电价选项的建议，并建议通过风险对冲等策略，提高这些用户管控价格波动风险的能力。 本文首刊于《南方能源观察》（2023年12月3日）… View Summary +
Electric vehicles (EVs) can do more than simply transport people or goods from place to place. Through smart charging and bidirectional charging, their batteries can become an important societal resource. When these EV batteries are charged matters. Smart charging —… View Summary +
Access to consumption data from utilities enables building owners to cut utility costs, save money, increase asset value, and reduce carbon emissions. Too often, owners cannot access accurate data, especially when utilities bill tenants directly. Stakeholders in many jurisdictions requested… View Summary +
