Electricity reform promotes the grid-connected consumption of renewable energy -- The head of the New Energy Department of the National Energy Administration answers reporters' questions


Abstract

(I) what is the significance of this round of electricity reform for promoting the development and utilization of new and renewable energy?

Since the beginning of this year, the situation of new energy consumption has become more severe, and the operational contradiction between new energy and regular energy has been intensified. A large number of wind and light abandonment phenomena have not only caused a huge waste of renewable energy resources, weakened the development momentum and stamina of the new energy industry, but also seriously affected the country's acceleration of the implementation of the ecological civilization construction strategy and the adjustment of the energy structure.

(I) what is the significance of this round of power reform for promoting the development and utilization of new and renewable energy?

A: In recent years, the problem of grid-connected consumption has always been a major obstacle to the development of renewable energy in China. Since the beginning of this year, the situation of new energy consumption has become more severe, and the operational contradiction between new energy and regular energy has been intensified. A large number of wind and light abandonment phenomena have not only caused a huge waste of renewable energy resources, weakened the development momentum and stamina of the new energy industry, but also seriously affected the country's acceleration of the implementation of the ecological civilization construction strategy and the adjustment of the energy structure. In the current situation, in addition to technical factors, the problem of grid-connected consumption is more due to institutional mechanisms.

Zhongfa No. 9 clearly stated that solving the problem of renewable energy affordable acquisition, new energy and renewable energy power generation without discrimination and barrier-free access to the Internet is an important task of the current power system reform. To a certain extent, whether it can effectively solve the problem of abandoning wind and light and water will be one of the important goals to consider the effectiveness of this power reform. The six supporting documents for the reform of the power system recently issued also put the implementation of the full guarantee acquisition of renewable energy in a more important position, providing a policy basis for fundamentally solving the problem of abandoning wind and light and water, and ensuring future renewables. Important measures for the sustainable and healthy development of the energy industry.

How does (II) consider the issue of grid-connected consumption of new energy and renewable energy in the supporting documents for this electricity reform?

A: The first is to establish a clean energy priority power generation system. The Opinions on the Implementation of the Plan for the Orderly Exploitation and Development of Electricity proposes that "a priority power generation system should be established. Priority should be given to renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and biomass energy for guaranteed power generation, and the priority power generation capacity should be guaranteed through adequate arrangements for power generation plans and strict implementation". In the power generation plan and dispatch, priority will be given to renewable energy power generation, and the power generation plan of traditional fossil energy such as regular thermal power will be gradually liberalized. The power transmission and consumption of renewable energy will be strengthened, and the proportion of renewable energy in power transmission and reception across provinces and regions will be increased. The second is to establish a market mechanism that adapts to the large-scale development of renewable energy and promotes the consumption of renewable energy. The Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Construction of the Electricity Market proposes to "form a market mechanism to promote the use of renewable energy. Renewable energy within the plan gives priority to power generation, priority power generation contracts are transferable, renewable energy is encouraged to participate in the electricity market, and the capacity to consume renewable energy is improved." At the same time, it will establish an auxiliary service sharing mechanism with the participation of power users, actively carry out cross-provincial and cross-regional auxiliary service transactions, and improve the capacity of renewable energy consumption. The third is to strengthen and standardize the management of coal-fired self-contained power plants and improve the flexibility of system operation. The "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening and Regulating the Supervision and Management of Coal-fired Self-provided Power Plants" requires self-provided power plants to participate in the provision of auxiliary services such as peak shaving, and to promote renewable energy to replace coal-fired self-provided power plants for power generation. The fourth is to promote the development of distributed renewable energy in the reform of the electricity sales side. Users and businesses with distributed renewable energy sources are allowed to engage in market-based electricity sales.

What are the next policy measures for (III) to ensure the consumption of renewable energy?

Answer: In order to implement the spirit of Zhongfa Document No. 9 and implement the relevant requirements of the Renewable Energy Law on the full guaranteed acquisition of renewable energy power generation, we will prepare and issue the "Renewable Energy Power Full" Based on the supporting documents issued this time, it is planned to implement the renewable energy priority power generation system and combine the market competition mechanism to realize the full guaranteed acquisition of renewable energy power generation. The document will clarify the guarantee principles, guarantee scope and compensation mechanism for renewable energy limited power generation, and promote the priority of renewable energy power generation through economic means and market mechanisms.

According to the current situation of China's industry development, simply through administrative means or market mechanism can not fundamentally solve the problem of new energy grid-connected consumption. In areas where new energy power restrictions exist, we intend to prioritize a portion of new energy indemnificatory power generation through power generation plans to ensure the basic utilization hours of reasonable benefits for new energy projects. The remaining new energy power generation beyond the scope of protection is encouraged to participate in market transactions, through the market competition mechanism to ensure priority access to the Internet. In this way, it not only guarantees the basic benefits of new energy projects, but also promotes the development and progress of the new energy industry.
