季节性容量机制调动需求侧资源发展
随着可再生能源大规模发展和并入电力系统，以及碳中和目标下化石能源机组的转型，电力系统对灵活性和可靠性的需求与日俱增。尤其近年来，国内外频现的电力危机、能源危机无不提醒着保障电力安全的现实紧迫性。各个国家和地区的电力市场设立了不同类型的容量回收机制，如容量市场机制、稀缺定价机制及容量补偿机制等。2022年，国家发改委、国家能源局发布的《关于加快建设全国统一电力市场体系的指导意见》（发改体改【2022】118号）发布一年多来，围绕“加快形成统一开放、竞争有序、安全高效、治理完善的电力市场体系”目标，容量成本回收机制建设稳步推进。 去年，国家发改委、国家能源局近期联合印发《关于建立煤电容量电价机制的通知》，容量补偿机制从无到有，现在朝着市场化的方向纵深发展。4月25日，国家发改委发布了《电力市场运行基本规则》（ 2024年第20号令），呼吁“逐步推动建立市场化的容量成本回收机制”，由“发电机组、 储能等”资源出力。容量市场应该可以开放给各类资源参与。此前，… View Summary +
New Report Shows the Diversity of Clean Energy Siting Policies and Permitting Authorities Across the Country
Across the United States, support for renewable energy is growing. Public opinion surveys regularly show that most Americans see the development of lower-emission energy sources as a priority. The U.S. government is looking to keep up this momentum to… View Summary +
欧洲议会微调容量电价机制意味着什么？
引言 欧盟电力市场改革是近几个月的热门话题。此次改革将修订一系列法律法规，包括欧洲内部电力市场法规和指令、能源监管机构法规以及批发能源市场一体化和透明度的法规。修订草案已经于2024年4月11日由欧洲议会全体会议投票通过。下一步，该草案将在未来的几周内经过欧盟理事会的投票后最终生效。虽还须经过欧盟理事会的正式采纳，但预计草案内容不会有太大的变化，我们就此契机介绍和分析欧盟电力市场改革。本轮欧洲电力市场改革内容广泛，本文主要聚焦在对容量补偿机制和与之密切相关的现货市场改革的讨论。… View Summary +
Risky Reliability: Will Regulators Address the Price Risk of the Next Generation of Gas Power Plants?
Thanks to an increase in manufacturing development, electricity demand is rising faster than expected in the Southeast. As a result, Duke, Georgia Power and TVA are asking their regulators to approve a series of new gas-fired generators using reliability and… View Summary +
Addressing the Problem: Controlling Your Water Heater for Consumer Savings and Load Flexibility
In early January, I sat in my apartment as the winter’s first true cold snap ripped through Montana. It was negative 10 degrees out, with wind chills pushing temperatures even lower. I shivered at the idea of getting my next… View Summary +

中国区域电力市场：南方电网区域市场设计方案回顾（执行摘要）
在过去的十几年，中国南方区域一直走在电力市场规则制定与实施的前沿。从2022年中到2023年7月，国家能源局南方监管局、中国南方电网电力调度控制中心以及广州电力交易中心有限责任公司发布了一系列文件，明确了中国南方电网地区的区域电力市场设计。本报告主要基于2023年6月发布的《南方区域电力市场运营规则（征求意见稿）》（以下简称《运营规则》或《规则》），并在一定程度上参考了多个“实施细则”和其他政策文件的基础上，对南方区域市场设计进行了简要回顾。本文为讨论稿，希望借此文抛砖引玉，与业内人士共同探讨。 区域电力市场可以有效地加强系统稳定性、降低排放、低成本地帮助可再生能源并网，更公平地分摊成本，并且提高电价和成本的透明性。《运营规则》是推动中国南方电网建立区域电力市场重要的第一步。然而，《规则》在一些关键领域仍然存在一些不清晰之处与尚未充分解决的市场设计问题，其中最重要的几点包括： 结算体系并不完善； 由于部分市场参与主体未以现货市场价格结算而导致了市场运营商（电力交易中心）的不平衡资金问题； 缺乏区域调度控制；… View Summary +
