On April 2 1, Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center Co., Ltd. was established, becoming the first provincial-level electric power trading institution with multi-shareholder limited liability company system in China. This is not only an important measure to promote the structural reform of the supply side in our province, but also a concrete action to deepen the comprehensive pilot reform of the power system in our province.

Back in February, in order to promote power market transactions, our province "tried first" and established Guizhou Power Trading Center affiliated to Guizhou Power Grid Corporation, taking the pace of power market reform;

15 March, * * * the State Council's Several Opinions on Further Deepening the Reform of Electric Power System (Zhong Fa [2015] No.9) was released;

165438+ 10. On 9 October, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration approved the comprehensive pilot program for power system reform in Guizhou Province, and our province became the first batch of pilot provinces for power system reform in China.

165438+1October16th, Guizhou electric power trading center was officially put into operation and became a relatively independent electric power trading institution.

On March 28th, Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center was established as a company and completed industrial and commercial registration, becoming the first provincial-level electric power trading institution with multi-shareholder limited company system in China.

On April 2 1 day, Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center Co., Ltd. was formally established. On the same day, Guizhou electricity market trading system was put into operation.

Interpretation of the system: let the market decide the allocation of resources

It is understood that Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center mainly has six functions: researching and drafting trading mechanism and rules, market trading planning and organization, market management, statistical settlement and analysis, information statistics and disclosure management, technical support construction and operation and maintenance management.

"The trading center is relatively independent, not for profit, providing standardized, reliable, efficient and high-quality power trading services in accordance with the law, forming a fair, just and effective competitive market structure, and promoting the market to play a decisive role in resource allocation and better play the role of government supervision." The person in charge of Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center stressed in an interview.

"Relative independence" refers to separating the trading business originally undertaken by power grid enterprises from other businesses to achieve relatively independent operation.

Previously, Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center was affiliated to Guizhou Power Grid Corporation. This time, Guizhou Power Grid Co., Ltd. and Guizhou Industrial Investment (Group) Co., Ltd. jointly funded the establishment of Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center Co., Ltd. After the corporatization operation, Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center will operate independently. The center collects reasonable fees from market participants to pay for office and labor costs, mainly including registration fees, annual fees and transaction fees.

Before the corporatization operation, Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center conducted market-oriented transactions under the leadership of the Guizhou Electric Power Marketization Leading Group composed of the Provincial Economic and Information Committee, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Energy Bureau and the Energy Supervision Office. After that, its market-oriented trading work will be managed by the market management Committee. The management committee consists of representatives elected by power grid enterprises, power generation enterprises, power selling enterprises and power users. Responsible for studying and discussing the articles of association, trading and operation rules of trading institutions, coordinating matters related to the electricity market, and implementing reasonable deliberation mechanisms such as voting according to market subject categories. However, energy regulators and relevant government departments can still exercise the final veto power.

It is of great concern that the direct trading of electricity carried out by Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center will further highlight the fine degree of power system reform.

As the National Development and Reform Commission officially approved the transmission and distribution price of our province in March this year, the allowable income and transmission and distribution price level of power grid enterprises will be approved according to the principle of "allowable cost plus reasonable income". Power grid enterprises no longer take the difference between the on-grid electricity price and the sales electricity price as the main source of income, and users or sellers who participate in direct electricity transactions pay fees according to the transmission and distribution price corresponding to the voltage level of the power grid they are connected to.

Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center will implement market access and exit policies in strict accordance with electricity market access regulations, accept market access registration applications submitted by market members, sign market access agreements and trading platform use agreements with market members, handle account numbers and digital certificates used by trading platforms, and manage registration information and files of market members. Registered market members can participate in all kinds of power transactions online through the electronic trading platform, sign electronic contracts and consult trading information.

According to reports, the electricity sales business organized by Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center is mainly aimed at thermal power enterprises. The main types of transactions in the next step include direct transactions, surplus hydropower transactions, power generation rights transactions, and inter-provincial power transactions.

"Surplus hydropower" is mainly to ensure the power supply in the province during the flood season. In order to reduce water abandonment, market-oriented mechanism is introduced in the transaction of power transmission from west to east to increase electricity consumption in low valley. Through the power trading center, electricity purchase transactions are reached between power grids, effectively guiding off-peak electricity consumption.

The transaction of power generation right is to guide, encourage and urge the units with high power generation cost to sell part or all of the planned contracted electricity to the units with low power generation cost to replace their power generation, so as to optimize the power supply structure and reduce consumption and emissions.

Relevant persons pointed out that the establishment of the power trading center has set up a brand-new stage for power selling companies that may get the biggest dividend in this round of power reform.

After the approval of the comprehensive pilot program of power system reform in Guizhou Province, the reform of power sales side in our province has been accelerated. In Gui 'an New District, the incremental distribution investment business has been liberalized, and the establishment of mixed ownership distribution companies is accelerating. In Xingyi City, the escrow of Guizhou Power Grid Company to Xingyi Local Power Company was lifted, and Xingyi Local Power Company was transformed into an independent transmission company and distribution company. Release the electricity sales business to social capital within the province. There are 24 electricity sales companies in industrial and commercial registration, whose registered capital includes local state-owned assets, local private capital and capital outside the province.

In the future, after entering the main catalogue of power sales published by the provincial government, power sales companies can register as members of the power trading center. They can seize the initiative in price negotiation by providing high-quality services and bundling multiple users for centralized bidding or listing.

Zhu, general manager of Guizhou Jinyuan Group Co., Ltd. of China Power Investment Corporation, believes that conducting electricity market trading in Guizhou Power Trading Center will greatly support the industrial development in the province, win the market for power generation enterprises and achieve a win-win situation.

It came into being: promoting the reform of electricity trading system.

The establishment of Guizhou electric power trading center is an important task of the electric power system reform in our province. The main function of the center is to provide standardized, open and transparent power trading services for market participants under the supervision of the government and improve the market-oriented trading mechanism.

165438+ 10. On 9 October, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration approved the comprehensive pilot scheme for Guizhou's power system reform, clarifying that the reform covers the reform of transmission and distribution price, power market, power sales side and inter-provincial and inter-regional power transaction. Among them, the construction of a fair and standardized power trading platform is the concrete embodiment of the institutional framework of "managing the middle and letting go of both ends" in the new power reform. In the future, market competition will be introduced, market barriers will be broken, and a national and provincial pilot power market will be built.

Why did Guizhou become the first comprehensive pilot of power system reform in China?

From the supply side, Guizhou, which has the advantage of "mutual assistance between fire and water", is rich in power resources and has been eager to turn its resource advantages into economic development advantages.

Statistics show that the installed capacity of our province has reached 46.69 million kilowatts. In that year, the province's power generation was 65.438+0844 billion kWh, the province's electricity consumption was 65.438+065.438+0737 billion kWh, and the electricity delivered was 50 billion kWh. By then, the province's electricity generation will be 654.38+0.93 billion kWh, the province's electricity consumption will be 654.38+0.654.38+0.8 billion kWh, and the electricity delivered will be 75 billion kWh. Among them, power transmission accounts for nearly one-third of power generation, and power transmission from west to east is the main destination.

However, in recent years, the power industry in our province has encountered a tough market "cold current": thermal power enterprises urgently need to expand the power market space with the help of power market reform because of the reduction of utilization hours of power generation equipment and the increase of production and operation difficulties. At the same time, the problem of coal overcapacity in the province is prominent, and the market continues to be weak and the supply exceeds demand, which makes coal enterprises eager to seek a way out with the help of electricity market reform.

From the demand side, with the downward pressure on the macro-economy, the adjustment of industrial structure and transformation and upgrading have caused a decline in industrial electricity consumption. The chemical industry, nonferrous metals, metallurgy, coal, building materials, equipment manufacturing, electronic information and other industries in the province urgently need to reduce the cost of electricity and stabilize the production of enterprises, which leads to the contradiction that electricity supply exceeds demand.

In this context, in February, Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center came into being. The center provides a direct trading platform for power market participants through bilateral transactions, centralized bidding transactions and listing transactions.

"figuratively speaking, the function and mode of the power trading center are similar to those of the stock exchange." Shang Chun, chairman of Guizhou Power Grid Co., Ltd., said that this move aims to liberalize the power market without discrimination, improve market efficiency and release the supply-side structural reform dividend.

Therefore, the establishment of Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center is regarded as a highlight of this round of electricity reform by the industry.

Ceng Ming, a professor at North China Electric Power University and an expert from the power system reform expert advisory group of the National Development and Reform Commission, said in an interview that with the advancement of power reform, the trading center is a necessary place for direct electricity trading, and it is expected that all provinces will learn from Guizhou's power system reform framework in the future.

Initial results: release dividends to ensure growth

According to industry insiders, through the power trading center platform, all market participants participating in the power reform will share the reform dividend:

Power generation enterprises can enhance their competitiveness by reducing production costs and improving production efficiency, and strive for more power generation and income.

—— Power grid enterprises are mainly engaged in power grid investment and operation, power transmission and distribution, responsible for the security of power grid system, ensuring the fair and non-discriminatory opening of power grid, fulfilling the obligation of universal power service in accordance with state regulations, and undertaking guaranteed power supply services in power supply business areas. At the same time, through the power grid enterprises to sell electricity companies to participate in power market competition, improve service capacity and level.

-allow all kinds of capital to enter the field of electricity sales and new distribution, and gain new potential profit opportunities.

-Through effective competition between the power generation side and the power sales side, an electricity price mechanism adapted to market requirements will be formed to stimulate the internal vitality of enterprises and make the market play a decisive role in resource allocation.

-Power users use electricity more conveniently, industrial and commercial power users have the right to choose independently, market bargaining power is enhanced, and users' rights and interests are better protected.

In fact, after more than a year of operation, the reform dividend released by the "first try" of Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center has made some enterprises taste the "sweetness".

It is understood that Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center has organized 498 power users and 16 power generation enterprises in the province to conduct direct electricity trading, with an annual trading volume of17.242 billion kWh, accounting for 20.4% of the electricity sales in the province. Through direct electricity trading, the price of electricity purchased by users drops by 5.9 cents per kWh on average, which reduces the electricity expenditure of power companies by 101700 million yuan, and stabilizes the electricity consumption of major industries in the province by about10 billion kWh, which is equivalent to stabilizing the average utilization hours of thermal power units in the province by 426 hours, which strongly supports the economic development of the province.

Under the increasing downward pressure of macro-economy, the dividend of power system reform represented by Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center has been released, which has made great contributions to maintaining growth.

Guizhou Lin Kai Group Co., Ltd. is one of the three major phosphate rock production bases in China, and also an important industrial power consumer in our province. Xu Kui, the general manager of the company, described the benefits of direct electricity trading to enterprises with "timely help". According to him, the direct electricity trading conducted by Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center has effectively reduced the electricity consumption cost of industrial enterprises of Lin Kai Group.

This year, Guizhou Electric Power Trading Center has organized 94 1 power users and 22 power generation enterprises in the whole province to participate in the annual bilateral negotiations and direct transactions, with a contracted electricity consumption of 35.67 billion kWh. Among them, the electricity consumption of direct transactions in the first quarter was 5.456 billion kWh, and the electricity expenditure of power companies was reduced by 359 million yuan through direct transactions.
