National Development and Reform Commission: East China power market reform urgently needs three breakthroughs

since the regional pilot work was launched in June 2003, East China power market has been actively and steadily promoted, and has successively issued basic documents such as market construction plan, market operation rules, technical support system functional specifications, etc., and has built technical support systems such as East China regional master station system and provincial and municipal supporting systems in stages, successfully carrying out monthly market simulation Comprehensive simulation, day ahead power regulation test and other inspection work. From the four-year practice of regional power market, three new breakthroughs are needed to accelerate the construction of East China power market

first, new breakthroughs are needed in supporting policies

the construction of power market is essentially a reform of electricity price, and the stable operation of the market should be based on straightening out the formation mechanism of electricity price in all links. Although the state has promulgated the electricity price reform plan (GBF [2003] No. 62), the electricity price linkage mechanism suitable for the power market has not been established. East China power market has been promoted to the current state, which urgently needs a breakthrough in the supporting policies of electricity price

the experience and lessons of domestic and foreign power markets show that the generation side unilateral market without the introduction of sales price linkage or demand side response is an unstable market model without transmission mechanism and feedback link. Once the market supply and demand is unbalanced, it will lead to a "California Style" market crisis. In fact, Zhejiang power market, one of the domestic provincial power market pilots, belongs to the generation side unilateral market, which once achieved good operating experience and results, but was forced to close the market due to short supply and high electricity prices

according to statistics, after 22 months of monthly bidding simulation in the East China power market, power companies increased their power purchase costs by more than 2 billion yuan; In 2006, the 7-day power transfer trial operation reduced the income of power generation enterprises by about 50million yuan; East China power company has invested more than 100million yuan and a lot of human and material resources in the construction of power market in East China for more than four years. These risks are in urgent need of relevant supporting policies to avoid and guide

the balanced account policy and the sales side price linkage mechanism are indispensable supporting policies for electricity prices in the East China power market, which are very important for alleviating the contradictions in the early stage of the construction of the East China power market and preventing market risks. 3. Understanding after-sales is the prerequisite for the formal trial operation of the East China power market. The office meeting of the leading group for the pilot work of the East China power market and the market rules made it clear that the formal trial operation of the East China power market can be implemented only after the formal approval of the balanced account and price linkage policy

at present, the specific management measures for the linkage conditions, linkage cycle and balance account of the electricity price linkage mechanism are still in the stage of research and discussion, and there are no 4 A substantial breakthrough was made before the increase in the number of test pieces. The linkage method between the upper electricity price and the sales electricity price still needs to be clarified and implemented by the relevant national departments. Therefore, to speed up the construction of power market, we also need to seek new breakthroughs in the supporting policies of electricity price

second, new breakthroughs are needed in energy conservation and emission reduction

as a new institutional arrangement for the allocation of power resources in East China, whether the East China power market can improve the power generation scheduling mode, promote energy conservation and consumption reduction and environmental protection and emission reduction, and better implement the national energy conservation and environmental protection policies has attracted great attention from all parties

East China power market has achieved significant energy conservation and emission reduction through the automatic transfer mechanism of power generation rights. In the second power regulation trial operation in 2006, 600000 kW and above units generated 20% more electricity than planned, with an increase of 105million kwh; The generating capacity of 200000 and below units is reduced by 15%, and the generating capacity is reduced by 112 million kwh; According to the calculation that the coal consumption per kilowatt hour of large units is 50 grams lower than that of small units, the 7-day power regulation test saves more than 5000 tons of standard coal, reduces more than 100 tons of sulfur dioxide, and reduces more than 13000 tons of carbon dioxide
