National Development and Reform Commission: In the near future, wind power and photovoltaic power generation will be the main development of green power

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration formally replied to the State Grid Corporation of China and China Southern Power Grid Corporation to promote the development of pilot green power transactions
.

Why launch the pilot work of green power trading? How to organize and implement green power trading? The reporter interviewed the relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission

Question: After the Party Central Committee and the State Council put forward the carbon peak and carbon neutral targets, what is the background and starting point for launching the green power trading pilot work?

Answer: In order to implement the strategic deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and to accelerate the construction of a new power system with new energy as the main body, it is necessary to take strong measures to vigorously develop new energy
.

Due to technical characteristics such as instability of new energy power generation output, the consumption and operating costs of the power system will increase significantly

Question: Are the conditions for green power trading mature and are technically prepared?

Answer: During the design and research process, the National Development and Reform Commission conducted in-depth investigations with the National Energy Administration, related companies, experts and scholars, and found that the conditions for developing a green power market are ripe
.

One is that enterprises have demand

The second is the willingness of the locality
.

Some regions have carried out in-depth research and basic work on green power trading, and have a high enthusiasm for green power trading.
At the same time, they also hope to carry out the overall design at the national level and clarify the basic standards and rules

The third is technology achievable
.

Using new technologies such as blockchain, it is possible to comprehensively record the information of each link of green power production, transaction, consumption, etc.
, to ensure that it cannot be tampered with, and to achieve the full life cycle tracking of green power

Question: What are the overall considerations for conducting green power trading pilots? How to promote my country's clean and low-carbon transition through green power trading?

Answer: The overall consideration of pilot green power trading is to give full play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation, better play the role of the government, and promote green power to take priority in trading organization, grid dispatching, and price formation mechanism, and serve the market.

The main body provides a fully functional, friendly and easy-to-use green power trading service, which fully reflects the environmental value of green power

　　Question: Is there any difference between green power and general power trading? What is the trading mechanism? Which market players can participate?

　　Answer: Green power trading is the establishment of independent green power trading varieties under the existing medium and long-term trading framework, and actively guides users with green power demand to directly conduct transactions with power generation companies.

Green power is given priority in power market transactions and grid dispatching operations.
Organize, prioritize arrangements, prioritize implementation, and prioritize settlements, and use relevant policies and measures to encourage the enthusiasm of electricity consumers to purchase green power

　　Question: How will the green power pilot work be organized and implemented in the next step?

　　Answer: Under the guidance of the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration, the pilot work of green power trading will be carried out by the State Grid Corporation of China and China Southern Power Grid Corporation of the Beijing Power Exchange Center and the Guangzhou Power Exchange Center.

The implementation rules for green power trading will be compiled and the technology will be further improved.
Platform function, organizing the registration of market entities and green power trading
