Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the transition of coal power from being a "basic guarantee power source" to a "supporting adjustment power source" within China's energy strategy, emphasizing the need for a differentiated operational logic for coal power to achieve safety and low-carbon transformation [2][3][10]. Energy Transition and Challenges - The "14th Five-Year Plan" aims to establish a new energy system and a new power system, focusing on accelerating the construction of a new energy framework and promoting energy security [2]. - By September 2025, domestic coal consumption is projected to reach nearly 2.2 billion tons, indicating that coal power will still play a significant role during this transition [2]. - As of September 2025, installed capacity for wind and solar power reached 1.7 billion kilowatts, accounting for 46% of total installed capacity, with wind and solar generation contributing 22.3% to total electricity consumption in the first three quarters of the year [2]. - The increasing scale of renewable energy generation faces challenges in system absorption, with wind abandonment rates at 6.6% and solar abandonment rates at 5.7%, indicating a need for changes in renewable energy development and operational models [2]. Differentiated Operation of Coal Power - To achieve effective safety and low-carbon transformation, over 5,000 coal power units need to operate in a highly differentiated manner, with some units running as baseload, others ensuring grid stability, and some serving as strategic reserves [3][10]. - The current operational model of coal power is criticized for being overly homogenized, which limits efficiency and flexibility in the system [10]. Market and Policy Mechanisms - The article highlights the need for clearer policy objectives and market mechanisms to support the transition to a new energy system, emphasizing that the current market structure is fragmented and lacks transparency [21]. - The concept of "green electricity" is discussed, suggesting that it should be treated as equivalent to "green certificate consumption," which has become less relevant due to the decreasing costs of renewable energy [12][14]. - The article argues for the need to allow renewable energy to replace coal power in a broader context rather than being confined to self-consumption scenarios, which currently limits efficiency [18]. Future Directions - The article suggests that the focus should be on improving the operational transparency of the energy system, allowing for better understanding and efficiency in policy and investment decisions [21]. - It calls for a shift from traditional planning methods to more dynamic models that consider load curves and extreme weather impacts, advocating for the integration of randomness optimization methods to enhance system resilience [22][23].

Core Viewpoint - The trend of declining electricity prices in China is becoming more pronounced as the proportion of market-based electricity trading increases, impacting the profitability of power generation companies [1][5]. Summary by Sections Electricity Price Trends - In the first half of this year, the on-grid electricity prices have decreased to varying degrees, affecting net profit margins of power generation companies. The decline is attributed to factors such as policy changes, supply and demand dynamics, costs, and the spot market [2][6]. - Shandong province has announced the results of its 2025 renewable energy pricing auction, marking a significant milestone in the marketization of the renewable energy sector. The auction revealed that the photovoltaic mechanism price was set at 0.225 CNY/kWh, which is 43% lower than the coal-fired benchmark price [2][10]. Impact on Investment Decisions - The decline in electricity prices is significantly influencing investment decisions among power generation companies. Some companies are reconsidering investments in photovoltaic projects in Shandong due to the competitive pricing environment [4][13]. - Companies are advised to enhance their operational capabilities and actively engage with electricity market rules rather than passively adapting to price changes [4][12]. Financial Performance of Power Generation Companies - Longyuan Power reported an average on-grid electricity price of 399 CNY/MWh in the first half of the year, a decrease of 23 CNY/MWh compared to the same period in 2024. Wind power prices averaged 422 CNY/MWh, down 16 CNY/MWh, while photovoltaic prices were 273 CNY/MWh, down 5 CNY/MWh [6][11]. - Datang New Energy noted a decline in net profit margin from 29.90% in 2024 to 27.89% in the first half of this year, primarily due to falling electricity prices [6]. Market Dynamics and Policy Changes - The implementation of the "136 Document" has significantly influenced the electricity market, allowing renewable energy to participate in market trading without discrimination, leading to price reductions driven by supply and demand [6][7]. - The marketization of electricity trading has accelerated, with market trading volume reaching 2.95 trillion kWh in the first half of the year, a year-on-year increase of 4.8%, and market trading accounting for 60.9% of total electricity consumption [9][10]. Future Outlook and Strategies - As the proportion of renewable energy increases, the volatility of electricity prices is expected to rise. Companies are encouraged to adapt their investment strategies to focus on cost control, project site selection, and enhancing trading capabilities [12][14]. - Long-term power purchase agreements are suggested as a strategy for power generation companies to stabilize revenue expectations amidst price fluctuations [14].
