Notice of the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration on Encouraging Renewable Energy Power Generation Companies to Build or Purchase Peak-shaving Capacity and Increase the Scale of Grid Connection
Development and Reform Operation (2021) No. 1138
The main points of the notice are as follows:
1. Fully understand the importance and urgency of increasing the scale of renewable energy grid connection
2. Guide market entities to increase the scale of renewable energy grid connection through multiple channels
(1) Increase the grid-connected consumption capacity of renewable energy through multiple channels.
(2) Encourage power generation companies to build their own energy storage or peak shaving capacity to increase the scale of grid connection.
(3) Allow power generation companies to purchase energy storage or peak shaving capacity to increase the scale of grid connection.
(4) Encourage multiple channels to increase peak shaving resources.
3. Confirmation and management of self-built and co-built peak shaving and energy storage capabilities
(1) The self-built peak shaving resource method is linked to the ratio requirement.
(2) Co-construction peak shaving resource method is linked to the ratio requirement.
(3) Self-built and joint construction peak shaving and energy storage capabilities are determined.
(4) Strengthen the operation and management of self-built and joint construction peak shaving and energy storage projects.
Four. Confirmation and management of purchasing peak shaving and energy storage capabilities
(1) The main method of purchasing peak shaving resources.
(2) The purchase of peak shaving resources is linked to the ratio requirement.
(3) Purchase peak shaving and energy storage capacity determination.
(4) Strengthen the operation management of purchasing peak shaving and energy storage projects.
5. Self-built or purchased quantity standards and dynamic adjustment of peak shaving and energy storage capacity
(1) Identification of pumped storage, electrochemical energy storage and peak shaving capacity of CSP stations.
(2) Identification of gas-electric peak regulation capability.
(3) Identification of the peak-shaving capacity for flexible manufacturing and transformation of coal-fired power plants.
(4) Make overall arrangements for the construction and commissioning sequence of power generation and peak shaving projects.
(5) Establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism for peak shaving and energy storage capacity standards and distribution ratios.
6. Operation and supervision of peak shaving and energy storage trading mechanism
(1) Unused peak shaving resources can be traded to other market entities.
(2) Index trading needs to be coordinated in the province.
(3) Strengthen operation supervision.
Seven, safeguard measures
(1) Strengthen organizational leadership.
(2) Power grid companies earnestly exert their responsibilities for supervision and grid connection.
(3) Improve the reward, punishment and evaluation mechanism.
