This policy note is a summary of the findings of a joint study of the Energy Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, and the World Bank. The policy note is organized as follows:...
过去三十年里,中国以煤炭为主导的能源发展方式掩盖了可再生能源发展所取得的成就。2007年公布的可再生能源中长期发展规划明确提出,到2020年中国可再生能源将达到总能源消费的15%。政府如果确认要达到这一可再生能源发展的新目标,将给国内及全球环境带来巨大效益,相应2020年可再生能源将达到总能源消费的15%以上。可再生能源大力发展对发电电价将带来较大影响,但这一影响通过有效管理可以控制在可接受范围内。报告建议中国可以采用一种更加有效的方式来实现这一可再生能源发展的新目标:加快水电发展,尽快改善风电的开发质量,鼓励省及区域之间的可再生能源交易,推广绿色电力认购机制。
