由于矿物能源资源的有限性和全球环境压力的增加,世界上许多国家都提高了对可再生能源重要性的认识,出台了不少新的政策和措施,其中,可再生能源配额制(RPS)近几年来在美国、澳大利亚、欧洲的国家流行。该文认为,配额制具有许多优势,它为可再生能源发展提供了持续可靠的市场保障,有助于提高社会各主体的投资信心,促进市场竞争活力的形成,体现可再生能源电力的环境和社会价值,促进我国东、西部地区之间的资金与资源交流,使可再生能源的开发成本在全国范围内实现合理分摊、降低管理成本等。配额制政策的这些优势有可能解决当前我国可再生能源发展中面临的障碍。目前我国具备较好的引入配额制政策的条件,我国具有丰富的可再生能源资源,西部大开发策略和电力体制改革又为引入配额制政策提供了难得的机遇和挑战。——编者 Due to the limited resources of mineral energy and the increase of global environmental pressure, many countries in the world have raised their awareness of the importance of renewable energy and put in place many new policies and measures. Among them, the RPS (Renewable Energy Quotas) In recent years in the United States, Australia, European countries popular. The article believes that the quota system has many advantages. It provides a continuous and reliable market guarantee for the development of renewable energy. It helps to increase investor confidence in all sectors of society, promotes the formation of a competitive market, reflects the environment of renewable energy power Social value, and promote the exchange of funds and resources between the eastern and western regions of China so that the development costs of renewable energy can be reasonably shared across the country and the management costs can be reduced. These advantages of a quota policy are likely to solve the current obstacles in the development of renewable energy in our country. At present, China has better conditions for introducing a quota system. China has abundant renewable energy resources. The development strategy of the western region and the reform of the electricity system provide rare opportunities and challenges in introducing the quota system. --editor
