两部门部署完善发电侧容量电价机制 推动抽水蓄能、新型储能公平参与电力市场

Core Viewpoint - The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration (NEA) have jointly issued a notice to improve the capacity pricing mechanism for power generation, aiming to ensure the stable operation of the power system and support the green and low-carbon transformation of energy [1][2]. Group 1: Capacity Pricing Mechanism - The notice proposes to enhance the capacity pricing standards for coal power based on local conditions and to establish a similar mechanism for gas power [1]. - For newly constructed pumped storage power stations, a unified capacity price will be set based on the principle of compensating average costs [1]. - An independent capacity pricing mechanism for new energy storage will be established, taking into account factors such as discharge duration and peak contribution [1]. Group 2: Market Compensation Mechanism - A reliable capacity compensation mechanism will be gradually established for various types of power generation units based on their peak capacity contributions [2]. - The notice emphasizes the need for local authorities to organize the implementation of these policies effectively and to guide enterprises in enhancing management practices [2]. - The policy aims to ensure that the adjustments in capacity pricing do not significantly impact electricity costs for residential and agricultural users, while having a limited effect on industrial and commercial users [2]. Group 3: Benefits of the New Mechanism - The improved capacity pricing mechanism is expected to enhance the security and reliability of power supply, stimulate the construction of adjustable power sources, and better support the integration of renewable energy [3]. - It will promote the healthy development of adjustable power sources, guiding enterprises to optimize their operations and innovate technologies for a more efficient new power system [3].
