Carbon revenues for a just energy transition
|
|
Discussions on carbon pricing tend to centre on whether we should implement it and, if so, how high prices should be. But this is only one half of a crucial issue. The other half is ensuring we spend the money wisely. A holistic approach can help with the transition to clean energy, advance social justice and mitigate climate change. Strategically investing carbon revenues into energy efficiency programmes can pave the way for achieving these goals. |

Distribution grid planning for a successful energy transition: Focus on electromobility
|
|
Industry experts expect a flood of electric vehicles to connect to the German power system in the coming years. The existing grid can accommodate this change without a considerable increase in investment. A study (in German) by Agora Verkehrswende, Agora Energiewende and RAP found that — with the right policies — Germany can finance the electrification of its transport sector through network charges and the increase in electricity demand, without driving up electricity prices for consumers. |

EVs are a lot like water heaters – really!
|
|
Worried that EVs will add difficult and expensive load to the power grid? RAP offers a soothing comparison to a more familiar electric appliance: water heaters. Both have similar usage levels and patterns and can be harnessed to make the grid run cheaper and cleaner. Read more |
