As one of the countries with the most rapid development of new energy, China has been committed to exploring countermeasures to the challenges of new energy consumption. After more than ten years of consideration and consultation, the “renewable portfolio standard“(RPS) for “renewable energy power consumption responsibility weighting” has landed in China. However, in the official affirmation issued by the National Energy Administration, theoretical support for the basis of the initial quota allocation is still lacking. In this study, we examine the efficiency of the weight allocation scheme for renewable energy power consumption responsibilities, which was announced by the National Energy Administration in 2018 and which is based on the BCC-DEA efficiency model. The results indicate that most provinces have low allocation efficiency under this allocation scheme. Therefore, we propose an optimal allocation scheme for a renewable energy consumption quota, based on the ZSG-DEA model. With the achievement of its target, this study’s allocation scheme would ensure 100% efficiency in all provinces, improve provincial economic efficiency, and simultaneously bring economic growth. After analyzing the fairness before and after adjustment of the RPS, our findings suggest that the adjusted RPS allocation scheme can promote equity in per capita renewable electricity consumption.
Currently, the existing evaluation indicators of “three public” dispatching only focus on the implementation of annual power generation plan, ignoring the efforts made by thermal power enterprises to participate in energy saving and emission reduction and cross-provincial and cross-regional power substitution in the implementation of power generation plan. In order to reasonably assess the dispatching completion of thermal power plants, a “three public” dispatching evaluation system based on efficient utilization of clean energy is proposed. The system is composed of power generation planning indicators, energy substitution indicators across provinces and regions, and emission reduction indicators. The efforts of thermal power enterprises to participate in energy saving and emission reduction and energy substitution across provinces and regions to promote energy efficient utilization are fully considered. Finally, the simulation results show that the validity and rationality of the “three public” dispatching evaluation system based on the efficient utilization of clean energy can provide ideas and directions for the design of “three public” dispatching indicators, which has a certain reference value.
