How about the fate of thermal power and power grid?

On April 3, the State Power Bureau issued a notice on the disclosure of the power law of the people’s Republic of China (Draft for comments). As early as 2015, the legislative work of the power law has been included in the “urgent project of comprehensively deepening reform and comprehensively governing the country by law” of the State Council, and it is also the “leading” project of the whole power law system.

 

 

 

Now, the introduction of the draft means that the “power law” is another step forward. So what are the key contents of the most important law and regulation project in China’s power sector on the construction of electric power and electric shopping malls? ID: Encore port will take you to find out today.

Clean, high efficiency and low carbon are the future of thermal power

 

 

 

The fourth article of the general principles is structural optimization. “The state adjusts and optimizes the industrial structure and consumption structure of power, gives priority to renewable power, safely and efficiently develops nuclear power, increases the proportion of non fossil power, and promotes clean and efficient utilization and low-carbon development of fossil power.”

 

 

 

There is no doubt that the future development of fossil powered thermal power must be clean and efficient utilization and low carbon. This is also clear in Chapter III power development and processing conversion, Section II fossil power, and Article 42 thermal power development: “the competent power department shall take measures to develop clean, safe and efficient thermal power generation and related skills, improve energy efficiency, reduce pollutant emissions, optimize the thermal power generation structure, and carry out cogeneration, cogeneration and Cogeneration, etc. “

 

 

 

Non discriminatory access to power grid

 

 

 

In Chapter IV power supply and use and Article 53 pipe network management, it is clear that “power transmission pipe network equipment such as power grid and oil and gas pipe network should improve the fair access mechanism, and open to the market subjects such as power production and sales enterprises that meet the conditions in accordance with the law, fair and non discriminatory. No unit or individual may restrict the main body of the shopping mall to apply for access to the power transmission network in accordance with the relevant rules of the state. “

 

 

 

This will greatly facilitate the access of renewable power generation to the grid, as well as the connection of various micro networks and other projects with the large grid.

 

 

 

In addition, the content of supply supervision also makes rules for the fairness and openness of power grid. “The competent power department and the relevant departments shall, in accordance with the division of responsibilities, supervise the fair opening of power transmission and distribution networks with natural monopoly characteristics, such as power grids, oil and gas pipelines, and the efficiency of capital contribution and operation, so as to promote fair competition and safeguard the rights and interests of customers.”

 

 

 

Shopping malls and prices

 

 

 

In Chapter 5, power stores and Article 65, the construction policy of the stores shall be clear that the State shall “establish a power store system with multiple main bodies, uniform opening, orderly competition and useful supervision, and complete the optimization of power resources in a larger scale.”

 

 

 

In terms of price composition mechanism, “the competitive link in the field of power is mainly composed of shopping malls, while the state’s driving force is mainly composed of such factors as the situation of power resources, the supply-demand relationship of shopping malls, environmental cost, intergenerational justice and sustainability, which determine the power price mechanism.”

 

 

 

Considering the situation of domestic electric power market and the electric power system reform being promoted, the electric power price will be mainly composed of electric power trading market and spot trading in the future. It becomes a price signal reflecting the supply and demand of shopping malls.

 

 

 

And another electric power market is concerned about the price cost supervision. “The competent price department shall carry out supervision and examination of power price cost in accordance with the rules. Power enterprises shall, in accordance with the requirements of the competent price authorities, provide timely, real and accurate price cost data and accept price cost supervision. The competent price department shall take into account the supply and demand of power products or services in the market, the scarcity of resources, the cost of environmental hazards, the requirements of national economy and social development and the social affordability, and formulate and adjust the power prices that are included in the government’s pricing scale in accordance with the allowed cost, reasonable profit, tax calculation according to law and the principle of public plus and minus

 

 

 

This primarily affects the cost accounting and final price verification of power transmission and distribution price. This also means that there will be laws to follow in the calculation of transmission and distribution price in the future, and the public will have more transparency on the key elements such as the cost composition of transmission and distribution price.
