China News Service, October 12 According to the National Development and Reform Commission's website, the National Development and Reform Commission issued on the 11th the "Notice on Further Deepening the Market-oriented Reform of Coal-fired Power Generation Feed-in Tariffs" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice").
The "Notice" clearly stated that the on-grid tariff for all coal-fired power generation will be liberalized in an orderly manner.
In principle, all coal-fired power generation will enter the electricity market, and the on-grid electricity price will be formed within the range of "base price + fluctuations" through market transactions.
At the same time, maintain stable electricity prices for residents and agriculture.
The "Notice" clarifies the overall idea: in accordance with the overall requirements of the power system reform to "control the middle and open the two ends", orderly liberalize the on-grid tariffs for all coal-fired power generation, expand the range of fluctuations in market transaction power prices, and promote industrial and commercial users to enter the market. Cancel the sales price of industrial and commercial catalogues, maintain stable electricity prices for residents, agriculture, and public welfare undertakings, give full play to the decisive role of the market in the allocation of resources, better play the role of the government, ensure the safe and stable supply of electricity, promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure, and promote construction A new type of power system helps achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality.
The "Notice" clearly stated that the on-grid tariff for all coal-fired power generation will be liberalized in an orderly manner.
In principle, all coal-fired power generation will enter the electricity market, and the on-grid electricity price will be formed within the range of "base price + fluctuations" through market transactions.
The current benchmark price of coal-fired power generation continues to be the linking benchmark for the formation of new energy power generation prices.
Expand the range of fluctuations in market transaction electricity prices.
Increase the fluctuation range of coal-fired power generation market transaction price from the current float not more than 10%, and in principle not more than 15%, to expand to not more than 20% in principle, and the market transaction price of high energy-consuming enterprises will not be increased by 20%. limit.
The spot price of electricity is not limited by the above range.
Promote industrial and commercial users to enter the market.
All localities should promote all industrial and commercial users to enter the electricity market in an orderly manner, purchase electricity at market prices, and abolish industrial and commercial catalog sales prices.
For users who have not yet entered the market, all users with 10 kV and above must enter, and other users must enter as soon as possible.
For users who have not directly purchased electricity from the electricity market, the power grid companies will purchase electricity as an agent. The agent purchase price is mainly formed through centralized bidding or competitive bidding. When selling electricity to the agent user for the first time, the user shall be notified at least one month in advance. .
For users who have participated in market transactions and changed to power grid companies to purchase electricity on behalf of other users, the price will be 1.5 times the power purchase price of other users on behalf of power grid companies.
Encourage local governments to implement phased preferential policies for small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households.
Maintain stable electricity prices for residents and agriculture.
Residents (including schools, social welfare institutions, community service centers and other public welfare users that implement residential electricity prices), agricultural electricity supply is guaranteed by grid companies, and the current catalog sales electricity price policy is implemented.
All localities should give priority to using low-cost power sources to ensure electricity consumption for residents and agriculture.
The "Notice" requires that the construction of the power market be comprehensively promoted.
Strengthen policy coordination to meet the needs of all industrial and commercial users to enter the power market, and further liberalize various power generation plans; improve the power market system, accelerate the cultivation of qualified power sellers, enrich medium and long-term trading varieties, accelerate the construction of the power spot market, and strengthen the auxiliary service market Construction, exploring the establishment of a market-based capacity compensation mechanism.
Strengthen the connection with the time-of-use electricity price policy.
All localities should speed up the implementation of time-of-use electricity price policies, establish a peak electricity price mechanism, and guide users to use electricity at peak shifts, cut peaks and fill valleys.
Where the spot electricity market is not operating, it is necessary to do a good job in linking market transactions with the time-of-use electricity price policy. If the electricity consumption curve is not declared in the market transaction contract and the peak-to-valley ratio of the market electricity price is lower than the local time-of-use electricity price policy, the purchase price at settlement Execute according to the local time-of-use electricity price peak and valley period and floating ratio.
Avoid unreasonable administrative intervention.
All localities must strictly follow the relevant national policy requirements to promote the construction of the power market, formulate and continuously improve market transaction rules, and must not set unreasonable thresholds for power users and power generation companies to enter the power market, and must not organize and carry out special power transactions, and the market transaction price is within the specified range Reasonable fluctuations within the market shall not be intervened to ensure fair, just and open market transactions.
The National Development and Reform Commission will further strengthen guidance with relevant departments, and promptly urge rectification and reform through interviews, notifications, etc., for local unreasonable administrative interventions.
Strengthen coal power market supervision.
Local development and reform departments should pay close attention to coal and power market dynamics and price changes, and actively work with relevant departments to investigate and deal with market players’ price collusion, price drive-up, implementation of monopoly agreements, abuse of market dominance, etc., and power companies and trading institutions to participate in special power transactions. And settlement of electricity bills, as well as local governments' abuse of administrative power to exclude and restrict market competition, and publicly expose typical cases to maintain a good market order.
Guide power generation companies, especially coal-fired joint ventures, to make overall consideration of the operating benefits of upstream and downstream businesses, reasonably participate in power market quotations, and promote the formation of reasonable market transaction prices.
