国家能源局于今年4月20日发布了《关于加强新型电力系统稳定工作的指导意见（征求意见稿）》（以下简称《征求意见稿》），向社会公开征求意见。睿博能源智库认为，该《征求意见稿》提出的一系列措施对支持电力系统稳定、促进清洁能源转型和实现双碳目标，都起到了�...

电力合同管理的相关政策、法规和市场机制对于电力系统的可靠性、效率、成本和排放都有着重大影响。这不仅在中国和美国，而且在世界其他各国都同样如此，特别是对那些致力于实现碳排放目标的国家来说更是如此。在2010年代初开始的工作基础上，中国国家发展和改革委�...

Fossil-fueled appliances in buildings are a significant source of emissions, not only of greenhouse gases but also pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are responsible for a variety of air and water quality and health problems. In a webinar presentation, panelists from RAP, RMI, Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management and the Vermont Energy...

To meet decarbonisation goals, global renewable power capacity will need to more than triple by 2030, according to leading energy agencies. Centralised renewable generation will not deliver this level of change on its own, nor should it. Distributed energy resources (DERs) such as heat pumps, electric vehicles, small-scale solar generation and battery storage are...

As part of the Fit for 55 legislative package, the European Commission proposed a recast of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive in December 2021. The proposal introduces a new policy to boost renovation of existing buildings across the European Union: ­minimum energy performance standards (MEPS). MEPS require selected existing buildings to meet a minim...

In 2020, the Chinese government announced its twin intent to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. Since establishing these landmark objectives, often referred to as the “dual carbon targets,” China has set in place a 1+N policy framework and issued high-level directives regarding the power sector. These directives focus...

中国国家发展和改革委员会于2021年出台了一份重要的政策文件（《关于进一步完善分时电价机制的通知》），要求各省对几乎所有的用户都要设计和实施分时电价。这将极大地推进分时电价在中国的实施，并使中国成为少数几个尝试在全国范围内广泛实施分时电价的国家之一�...

中国做出具有历史性意义的双碳目标承诺后，中共中央、国务院、国家发改委和国家能源局发布了“1+N”政策体系中的首要两个政策文件，为电力部门制定了顶层设计方案，提出了“加快建设新型电力系统”及“优化清洁能源发电”等要求。2021年以来，各行各业分领域的政策�...

In the United Kingdom, policymakers are considering the idea of converting households that currently use gas for heating to instead burn hydrogen. This idea is known to compare poorly, on energy system cost grounds, to widespread energy efficiency, electrification using heat pumps and heat networks. Little attention, however, has been paid to what the actual runn...
