        Guiding Opinions on Energy Work

        These guiding opinions which sets out influential quantitative expectations for the energy system (promoting high-quality energy development and energy security at a high level, and supporting China’s continued economic growth) contains some opinions describing how innovation is expected to support energy security and grid stability, as well as the growth of non-fossil energy supplies. The 2024 guidelines highlight R&D in nuclear power, smart grids, energy storage, renewables, hydrogen and efficient coal use, and the 2025 ones provide a more detailed roadmap for advancing renewable energy and enhancing the Chinese self-reliance in energy technologies.

        Integrated Resource Electricity Plan 2010 - 2030

        The Integrated Resource Plan- Electricity 2010 (IRP 2010) superseded the Energy Security Master Plan for Electricity which was approved by Cabinet in 2001. The IRP determined the demand profile for electricity until 2030 and detailed how this demand can be most effectively met from different sources, such as nuclear energy, coal, gas and renewable energy.The latest version extended the study period until 2050, the Draft IRP 2018 specified new installed energy capacity to 2030 will include : 1,000MW coal; 2,500MW hydro (imported); 5,600MW wind; 8,100MW solar PV; and 8,100MW of gas.

        Wisconsin Energy Efficiency Obligation

        …Wisconsin introduced an energy efficiency obligation for all sectors, covering electricity and gas. Obligated parties include electricity and natural gas utilities. The obligation seeks to achieve an energy savings per year of 1 063 GWh. The most recent Quadrennial Planning Process revised the energy efficiency goals for the 2015-2018 period. An October 2015 Order issued by the WPSC set the overall 4-year goal at 268,659,142 million British thermal units (MMBtu), the kilowatt-hour goal at 32,197,088,735, and the therm goal at 1,588,026,749. The current number of energy efficiency measures in…

        New Renewable Energy Target for 2010

        In 1996, Japanese government set a target of around 3% (or 19.1 million kl oil equivalent) of new energies in the total primary energy supply by fiscal year 2010 (excluding hydro electric and geothermal energy). In 2008, this target has been set to be considered as upper case in 2010, and 15.6 million kl oil equivalent is set as a lower case. The 2010 targets for each new energy sourses are as follows (in million kl of oil equivalent):  

        PV: lower case target of 0.73 and upper case target of 1.18 (from 0.42 in 2006);…

The initiative was launched on 28 May 2008 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The project will evaluate all feasible renewable resource technologies that are likely to contribute to the realisation of the goal in WGA’s policy resolution that calls for the development of 30 000 megawatts of clean and diversified energy by 2015. Participating in the project are 11 states, two Canadian…

        Energy Strategy of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2050

        The Energy Strategy aims for effective resource development, including full supply to meet domestic market needs, technological leadership, the creation of domestic materials, equipment and technologies, and the training of the workforce. It sets out a a target scenario towards 2050 for Russia's energy sector, with projections and timeline for its oil, natural gas and LNG production. It also signals a rise in electricity demand, partially due to data centres, by up to 42% compared to 2023 levels. Nuclear energy is also foreseen to reach 25% of total electricity generation by the same date.

        …answers to all the questions put by visitors in real time, has been presented by the Institute for the Diversification and Saving of Energy (IDAE). The objective of this exhibition is to present the multiple aspects relating to energy as the main element of development in the world and as an essential element in our daily life, analysing its uses and consequences, reflecting on its value and the necessity of adopting responsible consumption habits. In short, the idea to be conveyed is that every citizen can contribute to the rational use of energy and with lesser effect on the environment.
