Abstract:

Ecological and environmental governance is vital to global sustainability. The role of energy saving in achieving CO2 emissions reductions is known to be important for environment protection . PPPs governance in DEG can be considered key to driving down traditional energy demand and hence CO2 emissions in the coming sustainable economy. Over the coming decade, Centralized Energy Generation (CEG) will decline relative to Distributed Energy Generation (DEG) such as solarphotovolatic, microturbines, fuel cells, combined heat and power and variety of renewable energy. This shift promises to improve power reliability, deliver cleaner power and avoid significant investments in transmission infrastructure. As an integrated hybrid governance system of sustainability, PPPs enjoys high efficiency of governance via collective efforts of multi-agents involved. In order to promote the governance quality of DEG, it is of importance to harness the advantages of integration of PPPs Governance in DEG project. This paper examined PPPs governance in order to improve efficiency of Distributed Energy Generation, it firstly briefly outlines the profile of PPPs, then illustrates the essentials of good PPPs governance in global DEG governance context. Finally, it draws the conclusion that how to ensure the efficiency of PPPs in collective governance of DEG projects.
