Core Viewpoint - The establishment of a unified electricity market in China is crucial for optimizing power distribution and enhancing market efficiency through standardized rules and regulations [2][3]. Group 1: Market Overview - In the first half of the year, China's inter-provincial electricity trading volume exceeded 670 billion kilowatt-hours, indicating that one out of every four kilowatt-hours traded in the market is through inter-provincial transactions [1]. - The electricity market involves multiple participants, including power generation companies, electricity sales companies, and electricity users, which complicates the trading process [2]. Group 2: Regulatory Framework - The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration have issued the "Basic Rules for Electricity Market Measurement and Settlement," which completes the foundational rule system for a unified national electricity market [2][3]. - The unified market rules aim to eliminate market fragmentation and inter-provincial barriers, facilitating smoother electricity flow across regions [2]. Group 3: Structure of the Rules - The foundational rule system consists of "1+6," where "1" refers to the "Basic Rules for Electricity Market Operation" to be released in 2024, outlining key market participation and responsibilities [3]. - The "6" includes three trading rules (long-term, spot, and ancillary services) and three operational rules (information disclosure, market registration, and measurement settlement) [3]. - The rules standardize processes such as settlement basis preparation, electricity fee collection, and clearing, ensuring clarity and efficiency in transactions [3].
