Zum Auftakt der Konferenz Berliner Energietage 2017: Energiewende in Deutschland spricht Dr. Jan Rosenow zum Thema Energieeffizienz. Zusammen mit Experten von deutschen Bundesministerien und Klimaschutzorganisationen bei einer Podiumsdiskussion „Klimaschutz energieeffizient gestalten,“ durchleuchtet er die verschiedenen Aspekte der Energieeffizienz im sogenannten Winterpaket der EU. Die Teilnahme ist kostenfrei, Anmeldung erforderlich.

Technology, consumer choices, and evolving markets are driving the U.S. power sector rapidly toward cleaner energy. Yet energy and air quality regulations are failing to keep pace with change. The result is inefficient “stovepiping” of responsibilities, as states struggle to meet numerous statutory requirements. The considerable impact of the energy sector on the environment, and…

Das deutsche Bundeswirtschaftsministerium hat den Begriff „Efficiency First“ im Grünbuch Energieeffizienz aufgegriffen und mit guten Inhalten für die nationale Debatte gefüllt. Da die nationale Debatte zu der Motivation, den Inhalten und Notwendigkeiten sehr vielfältig ist, hat RAP in Form von Workshops die Diskussion mit den Stakeholdern gesucht, um die Idee zu erläutern und das unterschiedliche…

At this two-day training event on energy efficiency policy and regulation hosted by the Energy Regulators Regional Association (ERRA) in Budapest, Hungary, Dr. Jan Rosenow of RAP and Zsuzsanna Pató of the Regional Centre for Energy Policy Research discussed regulatory issues surrounding end-use energy efficiency programs, including metering and energy efficiency obligation schemes. Also on…

ClientEarth and RAP hosted a symposium designed to assess the key issues and challenges around the “Clean Energy For All Europeans” package of legislative proposals. Experts focused on the impact of the proposals on consumers, efforts to secure resource adequacy, and whether the proposals promote renewable resources and flexible markets. The presentations given at the…

Under traditional regulation, utilities make more money when they sell more electricity. Yet this equation can conflict with the public policy objectives of utility and environmental regulators. In response, some states have adopted or are considering utility revenue regulation—or “decoupling”—to mitigate risks to utilities and consumers, and to deal with potential revenue shortfalls caused by…

The International Energy Agency (IEA) and RAP are conducting an in-depth analysis for the G7 on the design of market-based instruments for the delivery of energy efficiency. The study examines market mechanisms and economic instruments, such as auctions and tendering programmes, utility obligations, and white certificates, analysing the choices that policymakers face and the key…

  During this informational webinar hosted by the Pembina Institute, RAP’s Michael Hogan explores what capacity markets are, key design principles, and lessons learned from other jurisdictions. Sara Hastings-Simon, associate regional director, Alberta at the Pembina Institute moderates the session, including a Q&A.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) and RAP are conducting an in-depth analysis for the G7 on the design of market-based instruments (MBIs) for the delivery of energy efficiency. The study examines market mechanisms and economic instruments such as auctions and tendering programmes, utility obligations, and white certificates, analysing the choices that policymakers face and the…

As we head into 2017, the U.S. power sector continues its steady, technology-driven transformation. There is intense action in the states. Utility commissions, policymakers, and the private sector have unprecedented opportunities to add value while resetting the balance between regulation and markets to reflect the increasing role of customers. How should the many decision-makers respond?…
