The future of heat in buildings is not fossil fuelled. The urgency of the climate crisis, Europe’s 2030 climate targets, the current war in Ukraine and the resulting skyrocketing energy prices all mean we need to massively accelerate efforts to… View Summary +

Heat pumps are widely recognised as the key technology to decarbonise building heat demand in Ireland. To receive grants for heat pumps, homeowners in Ireland are required to have a heat demand per unit of floor area, known as… View Summary +
The opportunity: If the over 50 million US homes that have central air conditioning and a separate heating system just replaced their AC with a look-alike and more efficient “two-way” heat pump unit, those households could not only cool over… View Summary +

Electric utility regulators are paying closer attention than ever before to individual distribution system investment decisions, in part because of the rapid growth in distributed energy resources and the need for new grid modernization investments. To achieve the best… View Summary +

W ciągu ostatnich dwóch lat Polska znacząco przyspieszyła transformację systemów ogrzewania w budownictwie jednorodzinnym, zwłaszcza jeśli chodzi o rozwój pomp ciepła. Postęp ten zawdzięcza silnemu wsparciu politycznemu w zakresie wycofywania węgla do ogrzewania indywidualnego. Jednak zależność Polski od paliw kopalnych… View Summary +
在世界范围,分时电价机制正在逐渐普及。时至今日,大部分国家的分时电价都是根据使用时间,将发电相关成本分摊到不同的时间段中,同时在各个时间平均分摊电网相关成本。本文的主题是将分时电价机制的概念延展到配电系统定价中。 最近,一些国家和地区已经开始着手处理这一课题。在此,我们关注到了丹麦电力市场正在发生的变化,丹麦在将分时电价用于配电系统定价机制中已先行一步,有些经验可圈可点,我们在此梳理了一些相关经验,也许对世界各地的政策制定者有所启发。 本文修改版首发于《南方能源观察》… View Summary +
Options for the better integration of demand-side resources was written by Zsuzsanna Pató for the Directorate-General for Energy, European Commission. It covers options to further mobilise energy efficiency and demand-side flexibility in European power markets. These options are clustered into: Short-term… View Summary +
Heat pumps, a critical technology for clean energy systems, are poised to become the most important technology for heating decarbonisation. Currently, the vast majority of heat is provided by fossil fuels. In order to promote and encourage heat pump installations… View Summary +
