容量电价迎新规，新型储能有了稳定“底薪”

Core Viewpoint - The recent notification from the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration aims to improve the capacity pricing mechanism for coal, gas, pumped storage, and new energy storage, establishing a reliable capacity compensation mechanism to ensure stable power supply and support the transition to a new energy system [1][2][3]. Group 1: Capacity Pricing Mechanism - The capacity pricing mechanism for coal power will increase the fixed cost recovery ratio to no less than 50% due to the decline in operating hours of coal power plants [1][5]. - The notification outlines that the capacity price for pumped storage plants will be determined based on average cost recovery principles, with adjustments made by provincial pricing departments [1][7]. - New energy storage will have its capacity pricing mechanism established based on local coal power capacity pricing standards, adjusted for peak capacity and market development [1][8]. Group 2: Impact on Users - The new capacity pricing mechanism will not affect residential and agricultural electricity prices, which will continue to follow existing pricing policies [2]. - For industrial users, the balance of increased capacity pricing and decreased costs through energy markets will have a minimal impact on electricity purchasing costs [2]. Group 3: Development of New Energy Sources - By 2025, the total installed capacity of power generation in China is expected to reach 3.89 billion kilowatts, with significant growth in renewable energy sources such as solar and wind [5]. - The notification emphasizes the need for a stable revenue model for new energy storage, which has seen rapid growth, with installed capacity expected to increase by 84% by the end of 2025 [8][9]. Group 4: Reliable Capacity Compensation Mechanism - The reliable capacity compensation mechanism will be established to ensure that power generation units can provide stable supply during peak demand periods, with compensation based on the marginal costs of units unable to recover fixed costs in energy and ancillary service markets [11][12]. - The transition from capacity pricing to a reliable capacity compensation mechanism is designed to ensure fair compensation across different types of power sources, promoting a more efficient energy market [14].
