【文/观察者网专栏作者 心智观察所】 本周一，西班牙和葡萄牙发生了大规模、不明原因停电。 当天中午，西班牙电网崩溃并脱离欧洲主网，最终波及葡萄牙及法国南部地区，成为欧洲近二十年来最严重的电力事故。 尽管"没有迹象"表明发生了网络攻击，但大停电的影响仍然是巨大的：在几个小时内，伊比利亚半岛数千万人的现代生活俨然按下了暂停键。 到了当天晚间，西葡两国部分地区的能源供应正在逐步恢复，不过可能仍需要几天时间才能消除周一停电造成的损害。 尽管事件原委尚未浮出水面，但已经有迫不及待的声音开始痛批西班牙能源转型战略。声称"激进能源转型"的深层风险已无从掩盖。 事实，真的如此么？ 历史如镜：回顾2021年西班牙电网解列事故 的确，从时间上看，此次电网事故前有一个不大不小的新能源"flag"。 西班牙电网运营商Red Eléctrica不久前刚刚宣布，4月16日该国电网首次完全依靠可再生能源运行，风能、太阳能和水力发电满足了西班牙工作日 的全部电力需求。五天后的4月21日，光伏发电又创下新纪录，瞬时功率达20120兆瓦。 大规模停电事故后，这些亮眼的成绩转眼间成为批评者的标靶，部分声音迅速将矛头指向所谓"激进的能源转型"，批评 ...

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， ...

新华社北京4月29日电（记者沈寅飞）近年来，跨区域电力资源配置在能源供应保障、绿色转型中发挥着日益重要的作用，在缓解区域间电力 资源分布不均问题的同时，也为清洁能源消纳提供了更广阔的市场空间。多地通过建设特高压输电线路、开展跨省跨区电力交易等方式引入外 部清洁电力，保障本地用电更加安全、可靠、绿色。 2024年底，我国西南地区首个特高压交流工程——川渝特高压交流工程正式建成投运。来自甘孜地区的清洁电能直送成渝负荷中心，年输送电 量最大达350亿千瓦时。目前，阿坝—成都东1000千伏特高压交流工程正加快建设，预计2026年12月建成送电。这将推动形成以甘孜、阿坝地 区的清洁能源为电源点，以天府南、成都东、重庆铜梁为受端站的1000千伏特高压交流网架结构，川渝电网结构与用能需求匹配将更加精准， 电网可靠性也将提升。 此外，甘肃巴丹吉林沙漠基地送电四川、南疆送电川渝等输电通道工程建设预计将在年内核准开工，来自西北的清洁电能将为四川电力保供和 电网结构优化提供进一步支撑。 上海也一直精心谋划"外电入沪"。从上世纪±500千伏葛南直流输电线路投运，到±800千伏复奉特高压直流输电示范工程送电，再到1000千伏皖 电东送 ...
