Beginning in the 1970s, the U.S. electricity industry experienced a wrenching transformation from a sector characterized by high growth to one focused on reliability, economic efficiency, and environmental performance. The contemporary building blocks of electricity planning in the United… View Summary +

电力体制改革的一个关键环节是要在全国范围内逐渐实施输配电价改革。最新颁布的《关于推进输配电价改革的实施意见》等共6份配套文件,遵循了9号文的主旨精神,即“准许成本加合理收益”原则,并提出了较为具体的实施措施。 有意思的地方是,中国的输配电价改革和美国许多州政府对电网公司广泛采用的一种政策手段相似,即”revenue regulation”(“收入监管”)机制。… View Summary +
Most energy proceedings are convened before a state public utility commission, and offer few opportunities for consumers and other stakeholders to participate. However, collaboratives provide an effective opportunity for multiple stakeholders to discuss a variety of issues in a constructive… View Summary +

工业生产燃煤是中国空气污染的主要来源,也成为不断增加的温室气体排放的罪魁祸首。虽然两者的关联度众所周知,但中国尚未规定空气质量监管部门如何评估清洁能源政策以及减少能源消耗能够在多大程度上有助于改善空气质量,减少温室气体的排放。中国“十一五”和“十二五”规划期间实施的《千家企业节能低碳行动实施方案》和《万家企业节能低碳行动实施方案》节省了约4.2亿吨煤炭,但这些节煤与减少空气污染到底有什么关联呢? 睿博能源智库(RAP)与工业生产力研究所(IIP)最近共同完成的项目可以作为本问题的答案,同时也为中国的空气质量管理部门将清洁能源和能效纳入空气质量管理规划,提供了有力的工具。 本文简要总结了从8个工业行业完成的84个节能项目中识别出的节能量,节煤量,以及可避免的温室气体和其他污染物排放量。其中,企业每减排一吨二氧化硫和氮氧化物,带来的净财务收益范围从10几块到100多块人民币不等,有些企业减少的二氧化硫和氮氧化物排放量高达1千吨,许多企业每种污染物的减排量达到500多吨。此外,本文还为将能效措施纳入空气质量管理规划提供了建议。更详细的报告以及每类节能项目减排的流程模板正在编制中,像其他空气质量规划中控制措施的流程模板一样,方便空气质量主管部门使用。… View Summary +
