Ensuring a stronger grid that is capable of withstanding a catastrophic event, or alternatively a grid for which outage durations can be minimized in such an event, involves several steps. First is prevention: identifying the grid’s weaknesses and how to mitigate them. Second is recovery: steps to ensure quick restoration of service after a major event. Third i...
The harsh weather and inaccessible geography of rural Alaska communities pose significant energy challenges to the region, including keeping electricity and other energy costs very high compared to the lower 48 and even more populous regions of the state. Many communities rely almost exclusively on expensive diesel fuel—shipped in by barge or air—for electric...

Electric vehicles (EVs) are commonly viewed as a crucial mechanism to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, increase energy security, and improve air quality. Widespread adoption of EVs also represents an opportunity for energy utilities and consumers. On April 30, 2015, the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) and Vermont Energy Investment Corporation (VEIC) hosted ...
Thermal energy efficiency—improvements in the usable heating and cooling performance of buildings—directly lowers energy costs and creates indirect benefits for the household and broader community. These include improved energy affordability, improved work and school productivity, job creation, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. An estimated 125,000 Vermon...
تم إعداد هذا التقرير ضمن مشروع للبنك الدولي حول كفاءة الطاقة في منطقة الشرق األوسط وشمال افريقيا، ويتضمن دراسات حاالت مف ّصلة وآليات تنظيمية تم تطبيقها في ستة دول ومناطق لتمكين الشركات من مساعدة زبائ�...
This report, produced for a World Bank project on energy efficiency in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, includes detailed case studies of policy and regulatory mechanisms implemented in six countries and regions to enable utilities to assist their customers to use electricity more efficiently. The case studies were selected to demonstrate the wide ...
Puerto Rico is confronting a growing list of challenges in the electricity sector. Perhaps chief among them are high rates and inefficient generation. These challenges are increasingly recognized as concerns connected to governance and oversight of the Puerto Rico Energy Power Authority (PREPA), the government-owned, self-regulated, and largely vertically-integra...
