国家发展改革委、国家能源局联合印发《关于建立煤电容量电价机制的通知》,决定自2024年1月1日起建立煤电容量电价机制,对煤电实行两部制电价政策。各个省已经制定了具体的细则实施容量电价,以期望减少煤电亏损,激励煤电支持保供,增加煤电灵活性改造。然而,除非这些容量补偿机制设计精准得当,否则可能导致不必要的风险,包括容量过剩、不合理的资源组合、过高的成本和排放,以及阻碍系统灵活性和减缓电力行业转型。 为了避免风险,最重要的国际最佳实践之一是基于前瞻性的、科学透明的电力系统容量充裕度分析来决定需要多少容量,并采用竞争性的采购来获取所需容量。我们根据美国和欧洲的经验结合中国现有机制,介绍了资源充足性规划的关键步骤,并总结了一些值得借鉴的做法,希望对中国制定相应的政策提供参考。… View Summary +
