Recently, the "Regulations on the Administration of Electric Power Grid-connected Operation" (Guonengfa Regulatory Regulations [2021] No. 60) and the "Administrative Measures for Electric Auxiliary Services" (Guonengfa Regulatory Regulations [2021] No. 61) (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations") have been revised and issued. "Measures"), the responsible comrades of the Market Supervision Department of the National Energy Administration were interviewed and answered questions from reporters.

Q: What is the background for the revision of the Regulations and Measures?

Answer: After the 2006 "Administrative Regulations on the Operation of Power Plants Connected to the Grid" (Dianjian Market [2006] No. 42) and "Interim Measures for the Administration of Auxiliary Services of Grid-connected Power Plants" (Dianjian Market [2006] No. 43), all regions On this basis, "two detailed rules" were formulated to effectively regulate the grid-connected operation management of power plants. In accordance with the spirit of the "Several Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Further Deepening the Reform of the Electric Power System" (Zhongfa [2015] No. 9), in 2017, our bureau issued the "Work Plan for Improving the Compensation (Market) Mechanism for Electric Power Auxiliary Services", by the end of 2020, In addition to Tibet, 6 regional power grids and 30 provincial-level power grids have launched the electric auxiliary service market, realizing the comprehensive coverage of each regional and provincial auxiliary service market. Effective connection and collaborative operation. With the efforts of all parties, the power auxiliary service market has effectively played the role of the "regulator" of the power system, effectively improved the comprehensive adjustment capacity of the power system, and significantly increased the level of renewable energy consumption. This year, it is expected to increase the system's peak shaving capacity by 90 million kilowatts nationwide, equivalent to 90 million kilowatt-level pumped storage power stations, increasing power generation space for clean energy by nearly 80 billion kilowatt-hours and reducing nearly 100 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

In recent years, the power supply structure and grid structure of my country's power industry have undergone major changes, the scale of power installed capacity has continued to expand, clean energy has developed rapidly, and the construction of the auxiliary service market is facing new challenges. The complexity of system operation and management continues to increase, and the demand for auxiliary services has increased significantly. The existing auxiliary service varieties need to be further adapted to the needs of system operation; only the power generation side unilaterally bears the cost of auxiliary services of the entire system, and it is no longer able to carry a large number of system accesses The demand generated by renewable energy; the scale of cross-provincial and cross-regional electricity transactions is expanding, and the inter-provincial auxiliary service market mechanism and cost sharing principle need to be improved; new industries and new formats such as new energy storage, electric vehicle charging networks also urgently need market-oriented mechanism guidance Promote the development of.

Since the beginning of this year, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have successively issued the "Opinions on Completely Accurately Implementing the New Development Concept and Doing a Good Job in Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutralization", "Outline for the Construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle", and "Carbon Peaking Action Before 2030" Plan” and other relevant important documents, clearly calling for improving the connection mechanism between the medium and long-term market, the spot market and the auxiliary service market, vigorously improving the comprehensive adjustment capacity of the power system, speeding up the flexibility transformation of active units, and guiding self-provided power plants, traditional high-capacity industrial loads, Industrial and commercial interruptible loads, electric vehicle charging networks, and virtual power plants will participate in system regulation, and foster the development of the Sichuan-Chongqing integrated power auxiliary service market. The 22nd meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform pointed out that it is necessary to improve the multi-level unified power market system, promote the construction of a power market mechanism that adapts to the transformation of the energy structure, and promote the formation of a multi-competitive power market pattern. Support for transformation. The Central Economic Work Conference proposed that it is necessary to correctly understand and grasp the peak carbon neutrality of carbon, to base on the basic national conditions of coal-based, to do a good job of clean and efficient utilization of coal, to increase the capacity of new energy consumption, and to promote the optimal combination of coal and new energy.

In order to thoroughly implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, standardize the grid-connected operation of the power system and the management of auxiliary services, and deepen the construction of the electric auxiliary service market mechanism, the National Energy Administration revised the Regulations and Measures in a timely manner, with the auxiliary service market as the Grasp the joint efforts of network source, load and storage, and give full play to the supporting role of the power auxiliary service market in the transformation of clean and low-carbon energy.
