Chandler took a slightly different view, going as far as saying that the MRV issue in China was in his opinion «a little overrated» because there are many things that can in fact be measures - investments into the energy sector is tracked, there are meters on wind turbines to measure electricity generation, and the amount of coal consumed is reported, he cited just by way of examples.

Other provisions in the act — such as tax incentives that encourage the adoption of energy - efficient technologies, a shift to more combined heat and power generation, and the adoption of real - time pricing of electricity (a measure that will discourage optional electricity use during peak demand periods)-- would cut electricity demand enough to avoid building an additional 37 coal - fired power plants.

The measure directs how a unit's overall efficiency shall be determined on the basis of outputs of electrical generation and useful thermal energy output, which is defined in the bill as (i) including direct heat and other valid thermal end - use energy requirements for which fuel or electricity would otherwise be consumed and (ii) excluding thermal energy used for the purpose of drying or refining biomass fuel.
