电力市场近况更新 20250428 摘要 • 新能源机制电价政策由中央政府发布，各地方细节预计 5 月底前出台，6 月 1 日开始竞价。存量项目机制电量比例与当前非市场化比例衔接，增量 项目则通过竞价机制形成，与现有状态平稳过渡。 • 136 号文使风光调节性成本显性化，通过用户补贴的机制电价展示社会成 本，并挤出新能源中的非技术成本。增量项目机制电量竞价可明确新投产 项目的实际成本及合理回报率。 • 容量市场改革方向包括市场化定价和细分功能，不区分技术路线，满足容 量市场要求即可获得容量电价，利好储能。细分爬坡、二次备用、快速调 频等功能，使系统运行费更加复杂。 • 今年以来全国平均加权年度长协价格略降，但火电竞争辅助服务收入增长 及发电利用小时数下降导致度电容量补偿提升，火电竞争结算收入远高于 平均降幅。各地月度价格相对稳定。 • 煤炭价格下行对各地月度交易价格有影响，但江苏和广东交易价格坚挺。 今年广东未出现跌停板，江苏 5 月价格反弹，表明电力市场受多种因素影 响。 Q&A 当前电力市场的整体情况如何，特别是水电和火电的发展趋势？ 电力市场整体较为平稳，尤其是水电和火电。火电的发展与电力改革密切相关， ...
