It can be used as a tool for policy makers to evaluate the effectiveness of targeted incentive policies, such as price rebate for energy efficiency equipment, in creating energy saving and mitigating GHG. IRSP can also improve the targeting of Smart Grid investments for energy savings and clean energy generation. So, it can be expressed as:</p><p>Low carbon electricity = IRSP + Smart grid</p><h2><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; ">About the Speaker</span></font></h2><p>Dr. Zhaoguang Hu is the vice president and chief energy specialist at the State Grid Energy Research Institute (former State Power Economic Research Institute) as well as the head of the Power Supply and Demand Research Laboratory.
