Ten years after the implementation of the Renewable Power Law, the "most difficult delivery" principle of guaranteed payment for renewable power generation has finally been implemented.
On March 28, The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued the "Method for The Purchase of Renewable Power Generation with full guarantee" (hereinafter referred to as "Method"), aiming to strengthen the purchase of renewable power generation with full guarantee, ensure the completion of the policy on the proportion of non-fossil power consumption, and promote the innovation of power production and cost.
The Method clearly defines renewable power, which is applicable to non-water renewable power such as wind power generation, solar power generation, biomass power generation, geothermal power generation, ocean power generation, etc., and hydraulic power generation with reference to performance.
Although the industry believes that this "method" is the result of compromise between the government, New Power company and the power grid, it will play a substantial and positive role in dealing with the problems of wind abandoning, light abandoning and water abandoning.
"I think this approach is timely for the new power industry." Cao Renxian, chairman of Hefei Sunshine Power Co., Ltd. said in an interview with reporters, "The introduction of this management method is ten years since China's Renewable Power Law first put forward the concept of full purchase of renewable power generation. It is true that the guarantee of full purchase of renewable power is going to be implemented."
Sword refers to "three abandon" evil disease
Buy so-called renewable power generation full guarantee sex refers to the power grid company (including electric power dispatching organization) according to the benchmark price designated by the state and guarantee the buy off hours was used, contact the market competition mechanism, through the performance of the priority rule of power generation, on the premise of ensure the safety of power supply, the full buying scheme within the scope of renewable power generation project of electricity on the Internet.
"Under the existing power system, thermal power has DE facto priority power generation due to the amount of electricity that the government assigns each year, thus preempting the space for renewable power development. In this sense, whether we can deal with the question of abandoning wind and light is not only the important content of the electric reform, but also the sign of measuring the success or failure of the electric reform, and also the key to the success of the dynamic innovation. Qin Haiyan, secretary-general of the Wind energy Committee of the Chinese Renewable Power Society, told China Power News.
Water abandoning, wind abandoning and light abandoning are always the chronic problems in the renewable industry due to the relatively concentrated precipitation in flood season, the lack of external delivery channels, the slow growth of electricity consumption, and the limited peak-adjusting capacity of heating units. According to industry estimates, the amount of water abandoned nationwide will exceed 40 billion kilowatt-hours in 2015; Statistics from the National Dynamics Administration show that In 2015, China's wind abandoning capacity was 33.9 billion KWH, with a year-on-year increase of 21.3 billion KWH, and the uniform wind abandoning rate reached 15%. Some areas in northwest China are seriously abandoned, among which the annual abandonment rate of light in Gansu reaches 31% and that in Xinjiang Autonomous Region 26%.
And the Way can deal with that question in a big way. According to the "method", the annual generating capacity of renewable power grid-connected power generation projects is divided into guaranteed purchasing power and shopping mall purchasing power. Some of the guaranteed purchasing power are purchased through the preferential organization of the annual power generation plan and the signing of the preferential power generation contract (miscellaneous contract or difference contract) with the power grid company to guarantee the purchase in full according to the benchmark feed-in tariff. Some electricity is bought and sold in shopping malls. Renewable power generation companies get power generation contracts through competition in shopping malls, and power grid companies perform power generation contracts according to the priority dispatching criteria.
Qin pointed out that the real factor of wind abandoning is not the technical factor or other practical constraints, but a series of obstacles existing in the power market, which is neither easy nor fair, plus the resistance suffered by the old consideration and practice form because of the new technology to blackmail.
Under the set, held in the "methods" for three days of a "abandon the wind power brownouts seminar" on, wind energy association declared automatically activist, depending on the conditions adopted include request the competent department of information disclosure, to the national report, request the administrative reconsideration and lawsuit, a variety of law means such as law, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of new company in accordance with the law. According to Qin, the wind Energy Association has so far requested information from the development and Reform commissions and economic and information technology commissions of three local governments and power companies in Gansu, Xinjiang and Yunnan provinces, which are suspected of illegal practices in wind power consumption, and said it would "take further actions depending on the situation."
