Utility regulators, whether they be veterans or new to the job, are often eager to make a positive impact on the transformation of the electric sector by addressing such areas as distributed generation and storage, electric vehicles (EVs) and carbon policy. Many commissions are breaking new ground in these and other areas and can serve as examples to their peers....
Heat in buildings is still largely delivered by burning fossil fuels. To meet Europe’s 2030 climate target, the European Commission assesses the buildings sector must reduce emissions by 60% over 2015, and close to one in four heating systems will need to be replaced. How do we ensure that these systems are replaced with decarbonised alternatives? Two centra...
The European Union has committed to several ambitious climate targets, including the reduction of carbon emissions by a net of 55% by 2030 compared to 1990. To meet these goals, the European Commission expects to rapidly decarbonise its building sector throughout the decade. One way to ensure the EU meets its targets and drives massive change is to replace older,...
To meet the European Union’s carbon goal of reducing emissions by at least 55% net from 1990 levels, the European Commission wants the buildings sector to take the lead. The EU’s Climate Plan Impact Assessment sees building renovations and sustainable renewable heating system replacements cutting carbon emissions in the sector by 60% by 2030. At the same time...
In a rate design seminar for the Financial Research Institute, Richard Sedano explored process options available to public utility commissioners as innovation accelerates in today's changing power sector....
Meeting the European Commission’s target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from buildings by at least 55% by 2030 will require renovating buildings at previously unheard of rates and depth. This goal opens up vast opportunities for citizens, national economies and progress towards climate goals, but also issues a formidable challenge. To date, most Member St...
In a seminar for the Financial Research Institute, Dr. Carl Linvill explored smart rate design fundamentals, including a focus on performance incentive mechanisms. ...
要满足中国新近制定的气候和能源目标，包括碳达峰和碳中和目标，中国的电力行业需要从以煤炭为主导的发电组合，向非化石资源组合转型。这将需要以提高运行和投资效率为重点的持续的政策改革。 西北地区具有丰富的可再生能源资源潜力，初步的电力市场发展为促进...
Meeting China’s ambitious new climate and energy goals will require dramatic change within the power sector, transitioning from a coal-dominated generation mix to a more carefully targeted mix of non-fossil resources. This shift will require continued policy reform focused on advancing environmental objectives while improving operational and investment efficien...
