In September 2021, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration officially replied to the State Grid Corporation of China and China Southern Power Grid Corporation to promote the pilot green power trading. What is green Power trading? What are the differences between green electricity trading and general electricity trading? Why should our country carry out green electricity trading pilot?
Relevant controller introduces, the National Development and Reform Commission green electricity trading is under existing medium and long-term transaction, the independent set up green electricity trading varieties, with a green electricity demand guide users to trade directly with the power companies, green power in electric power market transaction and in the operation of the power grid scheduling priority group, priority, priority, priority and settlement arrangements.
"The market participants in green electricity trading, currently mainly wind and photovoltaic power generation, will gradually expand to hydropower and other renewable energy sources." The person in charge said that green power transactions give priority to fully market-oriented green power. If some provinces have limited scale of fully market-oriented green power in the early stage, they can consider purchasing green power from power grid enterprises with government subsidies and guarantees.
The person in charge said, in order to implement the CPC Central Committee, The State Council on carbon peak, carbon neutral strategic deployment, speed up the construction of new energy as the main body of the new power system, must take strong measures to vigorously develop new energy. Due to the technical characteristics of unstable output of new energy generation, the consumption and operation cost of power system will rise obviously. By carrying out green electricity trading, we can distinguish some users who are willing to take more social responsibilities and guide the consumption of green electricity in a market-oriented way, which can show the environmental value of green electricity. The green electricity income generated will be used to support the development and consumption of green electricity and better promote the construction of new power system.
In the process of design and research, the National Development and Reform Commission, together with the National Energy Administration, related enterprises, experts and scholars have carried out in-depth research, and believe that the conditions for the development of green electricity market are ripe.
"Many enterprises have a strong willingness to participate in green power transactions, and many enterprises are willing to pay extra for the environmental attributes of green power. As more and more enterprises are willing to participate in the transaction, the transaction scale will continue to expand." The official said that some regions have carried out in-depth research and basic work on green power transactions, and have high enthusiasm for carrying out green power transactions. In addition, the use of blockchain and other new technologies can comprehensively record the production, transaction, consumption and other links of green electricity information, to ensure that it can not be tampered with, to achieve the full life cycle tracking of green electricity. Currently, State Grid has applied for a patent for a blockchain-based green certificate trading system.
The person in charge revealed that the Beijing Electric Power Exchange Center and Guangzhou Electric Power Exchange Center have conducted a lot of research work, and the trading platform has realized price formation, contract signing, priority settlement and other functions to meet the demand of green electricity trading.
The official said that during the pilot process, relevant departments will strengthen guidance, improve relevant supporting policies, timely coordinate to solve relevant problems, and create a good environment for the development of green electricity trading. It is necessary to guide the whole society to form a consensus on active consumption of green electricity through power supply side structural reform, fully stimulate the potential of both supply and demand, accelerate the development of green energy, and accelerate China's clean and low-carbon energy transformation.
