Understanding the interactions between carbon markets and electricity markets — the impacts of each on the other — is key to good design of both. International experience shows that designing power markets and carbon markets in isolated policy “silos” does not lead to best outcomes. Designing them in concert helps ensure that the markets are as economical...
Electrification and power sector reform are interdependent challenges for countries around the world. Both will be central components of strategies to achieve ambitious carbon emissions reductions. In China, air quality challenges and other circumstances suggest a further urgency for electrification. Realizing the benefits of electrification in terms of carbon em...
电气化和电力行业改革两者密切相关，是全球各国和各地区面临的双重挑战。两者都将是实现雄心勃勃的碳减排战略的核心组成部分。在中国，空气质量挑战和其他情况表明电气化的紧迫性进一步加大。电改使得发电结构发生演变，决定了电气化对改善空气质量和减少温室气...
The issues of market monitoring and market power have long been important topics in market policy, regulation and design in the United States, European Union and other countries. As China continues its power sector reform effort, which includes an emphasis on “market-oriented reform,” market monitoring will be especially important. It can help 1) ensure ne...

A team from RAP shared international best practices for wholesale market design with participants at a workshop organized by the Northwest Energy Regulatory Bureau and National Energy Administration. The RAP team shared experience with market monitoring, resource adequacy and planning, and integrating variable renewable resources into the grid....
Much has been written about the value of solar photovoltaic generation, but less about the value of some of the other distributed energy resources — other forms of distributed generation, energy storage, electric vehicles, demand response, and energy efficiency — or how these resources can be combined. This paper considers the types of values (or “value st...
In May 2019, China’s National Energy Administration (NEA) loosened restrictions on new coal power plant construction. This gave eight provinces the green light to build new coal-fired generation capacity. Because of the increasingly uncertain value proposition of new coal power generation, even investments that pass the NEA...
2019年5月，中国国家能源局放松了对新建燃煤电厂的限制，给8个省份的新煤电项目开了绿灯。由于新建燃煤电项目的经济性越来越不确定，即使项目可以通过能源局三管齐下预警体系的评估，但仍不符合中国的长期国家利益。对煤电项目的新投资会对资产、机制、环境等方面...
