Xinjiang Power Grid's 5 billion kWh peak shaving alternative trading will be opened

This year, Xinjiang Power Grid's 5 billion kWh peak shaving alternative trading will open soon
.
This move will help reduce the abandonment of wind and solar power in the development of new energy, alleviate the contradiction of new energy consumption, and promote energy conservation and emission reduction in Xinjiang, which is expected to reduce coal combustion by 1.
66 million tons, sulfur dioxide by 4,828 tons, and carbon dioxide by 4.
32 million tons.

State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Company spokesman Huang Gang said at the 2016 Xinjiang Power Grid Clean Energy Alternative Self-owned Power Generation Trading Press Conference held on the 22nd that clean energy replacement self-owned power generation transaction is an important measure
to explore innovation and use market-oriented means to continuously expand new energy consumption.

According to reports, in 2015, under the strong support and guidance of the Xinjiang Supervision Office of the National Energy Administration, the State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Company was the first in the country to carry out the pilot
of alternative trading of peak shaving.
In Xinjiang Power Trading Platform, two batches of transactions have been successfully organized, with a total of 119 wind power and photovoltaic enterprises and 5 captive power plant enterprises voluntarily participating, trading 1.
024 billion kWh
.

Huang Gang said that the wind power and photovoltaic companies participating in the pilot of this transaction have reduced the curtailment of wind and light for the same amount of electricity; Captive power plant enterprises reduce the same amount of coal-fired electricity; It has promoted the realization of energy conservation and emission reduction targets in the autonomous region; The means of captive power plants participating in peak shaving have been increased, effectively expanding the space for new energy consumption, ensuring the security of the power grid, and innovating the new energy consumption mode
in Xinjiang.
Through the 2015 transaction pilot, we have accumulated valuable experience, and combined with the experience of other provinces and regions, we have continuously improved the organization of peak-shaving alternative transactions in 2016
.

In recent years, Xinjiang's new energy has continued to develop rapidly, with the installed capacity reaching new highs and the power generation increasing significantly year by year, which has played a significant role
in the adjustment of the energy structure.
By the end of 2015, the installed capacity of Xinjiang Power Grid was 65.
76 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 28.
4%.

Among them, the installed capacity of new energy was 22.
2 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 96.
63%, ranking first
in the country.
With the large-scale development of new energy, the contradiction between operation and absorption has become increasingly prominent
.

According to statistics, in 2015, Xinjiang Power Grid consumed a total of 19.
03 billion kWh of new energy, a year-on-year increase of 10.
33%.

At the same time, in 2015, the cumulative obstruction of new energy was 8.
622 billion kWh
.
In 2016, the installed capacity of power supply, especially new energy, in Xinjiang's power grid still maintained rapid growth
.
It is urgent to expand the space
for new energy consumption in Xinjiang through market-oriented trading methods such as clean energy instead of self-owned power generation.

Zhao Qingshan, deputy general manager of the State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Company, said that the problem of new energy consumption is a problem in the development process, and the replacement of self-owned power generation transactions by clean energy is one of the specific solutions, and it is also the implementation
of the country's opinions on further deepening the reform of the power system.

According to Fang Zhong, general manager of Xinjiang Electric Power Trading Center Co.
, Ltd.
, in order to maximize the space
for new energy consumption.
This year, the scope of participation of new energy enterprises in peak shaving alternative trading has been expanded, and new energy enterprises that meet the access conditions of the entire network are included in the transaction
.
Not long ago, the Xinjiang Economic and Information Commission has issued an approval, and Xinjiang Power Grid's 5 billion kWh peak shaving alternative trading in 2016 is about to open
