Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the adjustments made to the peak shaving auxiliary service market price mechanism in Qinghai, as outlined by the Qinghai Electric Power Market Management Committee, emphasizing the integration of auxiliary services with the spot market [1][4]. Group 1: Adjustment of Peak Shaving Auxiliary Service Market Price Cap - The price cap for peak shaving auxiliary services has been adjusted based on the principle of not exceeding the on-grid electricity price of local grid-connected renewable energy projects. The new price caps for deep peak shaving in thermal power are as follows: - Shaanxi: 0.3545 CNY/kWh - Ningxia: 0.2595 CNY/kWh - Qinghai: 0.3247 CNY/kWh [2][10][13]. - The peak shaving trading cap for virtual power plants in Ningxia remains at 0.19 CNY/kWh, while other types of peak shaving trading will follow the deep peak shaving price cap for thermal power [2][13]. Group 2: Strengthening Integration with the Spot Market - During the period when the electricity spot market is not operational, the peak shaving auxiliary service market will operate according to market rules. During the trial settlement period, no compensation will be provided for peak shaving services [4][10]. - Once the spot market is continuously operational, the peak shaving auxiliary service market will generally cease to operate, encouraging market participants to respond to spot market price signals for peak shaving and valley filling, thereby integrating the functions of the peak shaving market into the spot market [4][10].
