Group 1: Pricing Mechanisms for Pumped Storage - The notice specifies that pumped storage stations built before the issuance of the 633 document will continue to have government-set pricing, with adjustments made post-operation based on necessary technical upgrades and maintenance costs [1][2]. - For pumped storage stations constructed after the 633 document, provincial pricing authorities will set capacity prices every 3-5 years based on average cost recovery principles, with adjustments for operational hours [1][2]. - New pumped storage stations can participate in energy and ancillary service markets, sharing a portion of market revenues as determined by provincial pricing authorities [1][2]. Group 2: Independent New-Type Energy Storage Pricing - The notice establishes a capacity pricing mechanism for independent new-type energy storage stations that support power system safety, with pricing based on local coal power capacity standards and peak capacity ratios [1][2]. - Independent new-type energy storage stations will be managed under a list system, with specific management requirements to be defined by the National Energy Administration [1][2]. Group 3: Electricity Settlement Policies - In regions with continuous spot markets, the pricing for pumped storage and independent new-type energy storage will follow market rules or real-time spot prices; in regions without continuous markets, pricing will be based on commercial user electricity purchase prices [1][2]. - During charging, pumped storage and independent new-type energy storage will be treated as users, incurring transmission and system operation fees, while discharge will reduce these fees accordingly [1][2]. Group 4: Impact on the Company - The company’s existing pumped storage stations, including seven operational ones, fall under the first category, while nine additional stations under construction are classified as the second category [2][4]. - The company’s future projects will either follow the second or third category pricing policies, which will be clarified by relevant authorities during project implementation [2][4]. - The company plans to leverage the new pricing policies and the "dual carbon" strategy to optimize its pumped storage and new-type energy storage development strategies, enhancing its value creation capabilities [6].
