Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the establishment of a new electricity spot market system in Sichuan, emphasizing a model that integrates multiple power sources, optimizes all electricity volumes, and operates throughout all water periods, aiming to enhance supply security and promote renewable energy consumption [1][14]. Group 1: Overall Requirements - The new electricity spot market system will be built on principles of safety, locality, and scientific connection, ensuring reliable power supply while optimizing energy resources and promoting a green energy transition [15]. - Key tasks include establishing a market mechanism that meets Sichuan's supply and consumption needs, enhancing the connection between long-term and spot markets, and developing supporting rules for market transactions and risk management [15][16]. Group 2: Market Participants - Market participants include various types of power generation companies, electricity users, electricity sales companies, and new operational entities such as distributed renewable energy, independent storage, and virtual power plants [2][17]. - Specific types of power generation companies involved are provincial hydropower, public coal-fired power, and centralized renewable energy, while gas and biomass plants are currently excluded [2][17]. Group 3: Pricing Mechanism - The initial pricing model will adopt a system marginal price mechanism, with plans to transition to zonal pricing by 2027 and subsequently to nodal pricing [3][19]. - The market will set a lower limit of 0 for the spot market in 2026, with upper limits based on coal-fired power marginal costs and peak user electricity prices [3][20]. Group 4: Market Operation - The market structure will include a "day-ahead pre-clearance without settlement, intra-day rolling optimization, and real-time clearance and settlement" approach, tailored to Sichuan's high hydropower proportion and variable water conditions [5][22]. - Participants will engage in the market through "quantity reporting and bidding" or as price takers, depending on their capabilities [6][22][23]. Group 5: Market Settlement - The settlement model will follow a "daily clearing and monthly settlement" approach, with daily calculations based on market clearance results and a monthly basis for issuing settlement documents [8][32]. - All electricity transactions will be settled at spot market prices, with long-term contracts subject to price difference settlements [8][31].
