最近几个月，中国政府为解决可再生能源弃电和煤电机组投资过度双重挑战颁布了一系列政策。特别是国家发改委，国家能源局《关于做好风电、光伏发电全额保障性收购管理工作的通知》（发改能源【2016】1150号）和《关于促进我国煤电有序发展的通知》（发改能源【2016】565号）。这些政策可能在近期会取得一些实质性的进展，然而它们并没有涉及到背后更深层次的问题，即增加系统灵活性的需求，改革对发电商的补偿机制，而是依赖于一些固化的手段：保障风电和太阳能光伏发电的年运行小时数，以及暂缓建设和批准电力盈余省份的煤电项目。 与此同时，国家能源局六月份发布了《电力规划管理办法》，这可能最终会对改善可再生能源并网和减少煤电过度投资起到更重要的作用。这个文件为制定更好的电力行业规划建立了框架，承诺要从以满足快速电力需求增长为首要目标的模式向更复杂地权衡多目标的发展模式转变，包括支持可再生能源发展，实现电力系统安全可靠、经济合理、清洁环保等。… View Summary +

In recent months, the Chinese government has issued several high-profile policy statements directed toward the twin challenges of renewable energy curtailment and runaway investment in coal-fired capacity. These new policies appear to signal policymaker interest in dealing with… View Summary +

In recent years, China and India have greatly expanded renewable energy capacity. Installed wind capacity in China reached 129 GW at the end of 2015, up 23 percent over six months earlier and now the highest in the world. Solar… View Summary +

Europe is progressing towards an integrated, interconnected pan-European electricity market. However, the governance and regulatory arrangements that the EU has established to support this process are inadequate to the task. They are more focused on preserving the sovereignty of national… View Summary +
