Deepen the reform of energy prices. Continue to promote the reform of transmission and distribution electricity prices, deepen the market-oriented reform of grid electricity prices, improve the pricing mechanism for wind power, photovoltaic power generation, and pumped storage, and establish a new energy storage pricing mechanism; Improve green electricity pricing policies such as differential pricing and tiered pricing for high energy consuming and high emission industries to promote energy conservation and carbon reduction; Steadily promote the reform of oil and gas prices, adapt to the development direction of "one national network", and improve the mechanism for forming natural gas pipeline transportation prices.
In terms of electricity trading, the National Development and Reform Commission has issued a notice on further improving the pilot work of electricity spot market construction, requiring the steady and orderly promotion of new energy participation in the electricity market. Encourage new energy projects to participate in the electricity market by signing long-term (such as 20 years or more) price difference contracts with grid companies, users, and power sales companies. Guide 10% of the expected current electricity consumption of new energy projects to be connected to the grid through market-oriented trading competition, and the market-oriented trading part may not be included in the total life cycle guarantee acquisition hours. Study and establish a green electricity trading market as soon as possible to promote green electricity trading.
At the same time, State Grid New Energy Cloud continued to release a list of renewable energy subsidies in mid month and late month. The list shows that there are a total of 173 projects included in the ninth batch of renewable energy generation subsidy projects in 2021, with an approved/recorded capacity of 2401.33MW. Among them, there are 7 centralized wind power projects with an approved/recorded capacity of 439.5MW. There are 236 projects included in the tenth batch of renewable energy generation subsidy projects in 2021, with an approved/recorded capacity of 2164.65MW. Among them, there are 16 centralized wind power projects with an approved/recorded capacity of 932MW.
As of the end of May 2021, State Grid New Energy Cloud has released 10 batches of renewable energy subsidy lists, with a total of 14642 projects and an approved/registered capacity of 40990.67MW. Among them, there are 168 centralized wind power projects with an approved/registered capacity of 11719.9MW.
Overview of National Policies in May
Local level: 6 local policies in May.
According to statistics from the International Energy Network/Wind Power Headlines (WeChat ID: wind-2005s), in May, six provinces including Guangxi, Fujian, Shanxi, Shandong, Gansu, and Yunnan successively issued policy documents related to wind power.
Among them, Guangxi has issued the "Letter on Soliciting Opinions on the Scoring Method and Application Plan for Competitive Allocation of Wind and Photovoltaic Power in Guangxi for the Second Time in 2021", continuing to solicit competitive allocation plans for wind and photovoltaic power, and conducting project competitive allocation based on the preliminary work situation, energy storage configuration, declared electricity price, and the landing of the matching industry.
The People's Government of Fujian Province has issued a notice on the issuance of a three-year action plan (2021-2023) to accelerate the construction of a "Maritime Fujian" and promote high-quality development of the marine economy, emphasizing the expansion of the offshore wind power industry chain.
