Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the establishment of a reliable capacity compensation mechanism for power generation in Gansu Province, aimed at ensuring stable power supply during peak demand periods and promoting the development of new energy storage technologies [10][11]. Summary by Sections 1. Compensation Mechanism - A reliable capacity compensation mechanism will be established for power generation units that can provide stable power supply during peak demand periods [11][13]. - The compensation will be based on the reliable capacity of the units, which includes public coal power plants and new types of energy storage, excluding direct current supporting power sources [13][14]. 2. Compensation Standards - The annual capacity fee for new energy storage will be calculated as the product of declared capacity, reliable capacity compensation standard, and capacity supply-demand coefficient [4][14]. - The reliable capacity compensation standard is set at 330 yuan per kilowatt per year, effective from January 1, 2026 [4][14]. 3. Capacity Fee Distribution - Capacity fees will be distributed based on the ratio of monthly external delivery volume (excluding direct current supporting power sources) to the monthly electricity consumption of all industrial and commercial users in the province [6][15]. - The capacity fee will be included in the system operating costs under the "power generation side capacity fee" category [6][15]. 4. Capacity Fee Assessment and Settlement - If coal power plants or new energy storage units fail to provide the declared maximum output or discharge duration as instructed, they will face a 50% reduction in capacity fees for the month after the first occurrence and a 100% reduction after the second occurrence [7][8]. - A mechanism for annual settlement of capacity fees will be established based on the actual capacity provided during peak demand periods [16]. 5. Supporting Measures - The article outlines adjustments to the spot market price mechanism, with a lower limit of 0.04 yuan/kWh and an upper limit of 0.5 yuan/kWh, effective from January 1, 2026 [17]. - It also details the cost compensation for coal power plants in the spot market, which will be shared among all industrial and commercial users [17][19]. 6. Implementation and Monitoring - Local departments are urged to recognize the importance of the reliable capacity compensation mechanism for supporting coal power and new energy storage, ensuring effective implementation and timely reporting of significant issues [21].
