中经记者 张英英 吴可仲 北京报道 自6月1日起，新能源项目上网电量原则上全部进入电力市场，上网电价通过市场交易形成。这也意味 着，光伏发电即将告别固定上网电价时代。 这一变化正是源于今年2月发布的"136号文"——《关于深化新能源上网电价市场化改革 促进新能源高 质量发展的通知》（发改价格〔2025〕136号）。 自上述政策发布以来，光伏项目投资决策和收益模型面临重大变化，使得投资商变得更为谨慎，更加重 视项目收益率和企业盈利能力。在此背景下，一些光伏项目已陆续宣布终止。这些项目规模小到几个兆 瓦（MW），大到数十吉瓦（GW），涵盖了分布式和集中式不同类别。 在业内人士看来，新能源上网电价新政将推动新能源投资逻辑重构，倒逼提高新能源资产全周期竞争能 力。自此，我国新能源投资由规模扩张向效益与规模并重的高质量发展方向转型。 无独有偶，3月27日，受电网政策和电价政策影响，国家能源集团山东公司蓬莱公司悯农、康净园 12.69MW光伏项目EPC工程公开招标终止。4月9日，因新能源电价政策调整，被誉为"中国电建史上最 大"的51GW光伏组件框架入围集中采购项目终止。 新能源上网电价新政改变了项目投资逻辑，直接影响收 ...
