Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent implementation of a market-oriented pricing mechanism for renewable energy in Shandong, marking a significant step in China's energy market reform. This mechanism allows renewable energy sources to enter the market through competitive bidding, with specific prices set for wind and solar energy [2][3][5]. Summary by Sections New Energy Pricing Mechanism - The Shandong Provincial Development and Reform Commission announced the results of the 2025 renewable energy pricing auction, with wind power selected at 5.967 billion kWh at a bid price of 0.319 yuan/kWh and solar power at 1.248 billion kWh at 0.225 yuan/kWh [2]. - A total of 1,200 projects were awarded, with a combined installed capacity of 4.8566 million kW and a total auctioned mechanism electricity volume of 7.215 billion kWh [2][5]. Auction Process and Dynamics - The mechanism pricing is akin to a dynamic price insurance for power generation companies, providing compensation when market prices fall below the mechanism price and requiring refunds when they exceed it [5]. - The auction process was designed to ensure fairness, with a closed evaluation model and a focus on both quantity and price, allowing for a competitive environment [3][5]. Market Impact and Future Outlook - The shift to a market-based pricing model is expected to drive renewable energy companies to focus on cost control and technological innovation, moving from a scale competition to an efficiency competition [6]. - As of August 2023, Shandong has a total renewable energy installed capacity of 123.67 million kW, with solar power leading at 91.45 million kW and wind power at 27.49 million kW [5].
