Policy Core Background - The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration (NEA) issued document No. 114, which aims to improve the current pricing mechanism for coal, gas, and pumped storage power generation, and establishes an independent storage capacity pricing mechanism at the national level for the first time [1] Policy Core Principles - The core principle is "coal storage complement," meaning that the pricing of new storage capacity should refer to coal power standards. The coal power price is set at 330 yuan/kW, with 50% (165 yuan/kW) reflected through capacity pricing [2] Key Mechanisms and Management Requirements - A capacity pricing mechanism will be established, covering coal, gas, pumped storage, and independent storage. Provinces with a high proportion of renewable energy will gradually establish a reliable capacity compensation mechanism on the generation side [2] - The list management system, exemplified by Shanxi Province, requires projects on the list to commence construction within six months and be connected to the grid within twelve months [2] Project Scale and Provincial Differences - By 2025, the scale of independent storage projects in China is expected to exceed 1600 GWh, but many are "zombie projects" that are registered but not built. Currently, projects under provincial list management amount to about 250-300 GWh, with Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong having the largest capacities [3] - There are differences in policy implementation speed and construction rhythm among provinces, with Xinjiang and Shanxi expected to see a surge in storage construction [3] Cost and Revenue Estimation - For a 100MW/400MWh storage station, the estimated annual capacity price income is over 15 million yuan nationwide, with Gansu's 4-hour storage station potentially earning close to 20 million yuan annually [4] - The minimum standard for coal power capacity pricing is 165 yuan/kW/year, with a national average of about 180-190 yuan/kW/year [4] Industry Impact - The policy will help transmit the rising costs of lithium battery storage equipment to users, alleviating project delays caused by rising lithium carbonate prices. The list management system will accelerate the implementation of quality projects, with state-owned enterprises increasing their independent storage layouts [5]
