Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the implementation of the "Implementation Plan for Deepening the Market-oriented Reform of New Energy Grid Connection Prices (Trial)" in Xinjiang, which aims to establish a sustainable pricing mechanism for new energy and ensure a smooth transition from old to new policies [1][9]. Summary by Sections Background of the Plan - The plan is a response to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which emphasizes market-driven pricing mechanisms and the establishment of a unified national electricity market [9]. - It follows the "136 Document" issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration, which calls for market-driven pricing for new energy by the end of 2025 [9]. Main Content of the Plan - The plan includes basic principles, main tasks, and safeguard measures. The main tasks focus on market-driven pricing, establishing a sustainable pricing mechanism, determining the scale and price level of mechanism electricity, and clarifying settlement methods and exit rules [10]. Mechanism Electricity Price and Volume - For existing projects before June 1, 2025, the mechanism electricity price is set at 0.25 CNY/kWh for subsidized projects (30% of grid-connected electricity) and 0.262 CNY/kWh for parity projects (50% of grid-connected electricity) [12]. - For new projects after June 1, 2025, the mechanism electricity price will be determined through competitive bidding, with a temporary mechanism electricity volume ratio of 50% [13]. Competitive Bidding for Incremental Projects - The bidding for incremental projects will adopt a marginal clearing method, with a bidding range set between 0.150 CNY/kWh and 0.262 CNY/kWh. Bidding will be organized annually, allowing voluntary participation from projects that have not previously been included in the mechanism [14]. Price Difference Settlement Mechanism - The State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Company will conduct monthly price difference settlements for the included mechanism electricity, incorporating the difference between the market trading average and the mechanism electricity price into the system operation costs [15]. Positive Impact on High-Quality Development of New Energy - The plan is seen as a significant step in implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress and furthering electricity market reforms. It aims to stabilize revenue expectations for new energy companies, boost development confidence, and contribute to the sustainable and healthy development of new energy in the region [16].
