01 Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission Issues 'Notice on Further Improving the Price Mechanism for New Energy Storage' (March 7th)

Recently, the Price Department of the Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued the 'Notice on Further Improving the Price Mechanism for New Energy Storage (川发改价格〔2025〕14号)' (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"). The Notice clarifies the charging and discharging prices for independent energy storage power stations, charging and discharging prices for user-side new energy storage projects, and other matters such as energy storage power station transaction settlement.

Regarding the charging and discharging Price for independent energy storage power stations,The Notice clarifies that when charging, independent energy storage power stations can participate in the provincial power market transactions as power users, Among them, for power sent to the grid, the corresponding charging electricity does not bear the transmission and distribution Price and government-levied funds and surcharges.

In addition, the Notice clarifies that when discharging, independent energy storage power stations can participate in the provincial power market transactions as power generation enterprises. Before the operation of the electricity spot market, the discharge electricity of independent energy storage power stations will be implemented in accordance with the coal-fired power government-authorized contract Price mechanism, obtaining the average Price difference fee. During the peak Price period of the province, the discharge Price and the average Price difference fee will be implemented in accordance with the time-of-use Price mechanism (including the peak Price mechanism) time division and fluctuation ratio, and the time-of-use Price mechanism will not be implemented during other periods;

After the continuous settlement trial operation of the electricity spot market begins, independent energy storage power stations are encouraged to sign market contracts for peak and off-peak periods, playing a role in peak shaving and peak power generation, Its discharge Price will be formed according to the electricity market transaction rules,The above policies will no longer be implemented.

Regarding the charging and discharging Price for user-side new energy storage projects,The Notice also clarifies that when charging, user-side new energy storage projects can participate in the provincial power market transactions as power users. Before the operation of the electricity spot market, The discharge electricity of user-side new energy storage projects will be implemented in accordance with the coal-fired power government-authorized contract Price mechanism, obtaining the average Price difference fee, and will be implemented in accordance with the time-of-use Price mechanism (including the peak Price mechanism) time division and fluctuation ratio;

After the continuous settlement trial operation of the electricity spot market begins, the discharge Price of user-side new energy storage projects will be formed according to the electricity market transaction rules, and the above policies will no longer be implemented.

In addition, the Notice also clarifies that, For user-side new energy storage projects that are completed and put into operation before December 31, 2026, the electricity charges for the increased capacity (demand) caused by the increase in power equipment capacity to ensure the normal operation of new energy storage equipment within two years after commissioning will be included in the province's overall coordination and guidance.

For those charged by capacity Price, the newly added capacity electricity charges are determined by the newly added capacity of the dedicated transformer for new energy storage equipment; for those charged by demand Price, the newly added demand electricity charges are determined by the charging load of the new energy storage equipment at the moment corresponding to the maximum demand of the user in the current month. If the charging load data of the new energy storage equipment at the corresponding moment is missing, it will be determined by the average value of the load at the adjacent moments before and after.

0 2 Shandong Provincial Energy Bureau Issues Notice on Issuing Detailed Implementation Rules for Source-Grid-Load-Storage Integration Pilot Program (March 5th)

On March 5th, the Shandong Provincial Energy Bureau issued a notice on issuing detailed implementation rules for the source-grid-load-storage integration pilot program. It proposes that the source-grid-load-storage integration pilot program will be implemented in four modes: On-site and nearby consumption, green electricity trading, virtual power plants, and distributed self-generation and self-consumption.

Among them, for integrated projects under the self-generation and self-consumption mode and green electricity trading mode, enterprises should, Voluntarily and reasonably configure energy storage.Energy storage should be independently constructed and shall not participate in electricity market transactions as an independent entity.

Self-generation and Self-consumption ModeSource-grid-load-storage integration projects are suitable for Areas with insufficient distribution network capacity and limited open capacity of distributed renewable energy.Power-using enterprises increase the power load during the period of large-scale renewable energy generation by building a certain scale of energy storage facilities, and build distributed renewable energy within their own factory area. The generated electricity is, in principle, consumed on-site. Project implementation should not affect the safe operation of the power system.

The attachment mentions, On-site and Nearby Consumption of Renewable Energy ModeSuitable for export-oriented enterprises with good surrounding renewable energy resource conditions and clear requirements for green electricity direct connection. The construction of source-grid-load-storage integration projects for on-site and nearby consumption of renewable energy should aim at improving the consumption level of renewable energy. Focus on developing projects with an annual renewable energy consumption capacity of no less than 200 million kWh and a renewable energy consumption ratio of no less than 50% of the total electricity consumption.

Virtual Power Plant ModeSuitable for integrated projects based on distributed power sources not included in the dispatch management scope, User-side or distributed energy storage,Adjustable loads and other types of resources. Aggregated resources should be connected to the public power grid separately, can be located in different areas, and can participate in electricity market transactions by aggregating into virtual power plants, achieving flexible interaction between source, grid, load, and storage. Aggregated resources are managed independently by the virtual power plant operator.

Green Electricity Trading ModeRequires real-time monitoring of power data, automatic control of active and reactive power, prediction of power and load data, market clearing, and receiving and decomposing and issuing dispatch instructions.

0 3 Beijing Municipal Local Standard 'Construction and Operation Standard for Power Energy Storage Systems' Open for Public Comment (March 12th)

On March 12th, the Beijing Municipal Local Standard 'Construction and Operation Standard for Power Energy Storage Systems' was open for public comment. This document was first released in 2021, and this is the first revision.

This document is proposed and categorized by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Management and implemented by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Management. It specifies the design, construction, acceptance, operation and maintenance, decommissioning, and emergency handling requirements for power energy storage systems. Applicable to the construction and operation of compressed air energy storage systems, flywheel energy storage systems, supercapacitor energy storage systems with a rated energy of no less than 5 kWh, and lithium-ion/sodium-ion battery (including solid-state batteries), flow batteries, etc., energy storage systems with a rated power of no less than 100 kW or a rated energy of no less than 100 kWh. Other or hybrid types of energy storage systems can refer to this for implementation.

Compared with the previous version, this version adds technical requirements for non-compliance with site distance, requirements for outdoor open-air sites, fire prevention distance requirements, power quality management requirements, regulations for the need to set up a station-wide unified clock synchronization system, requirements for accessing the safety management platform, and a chapter on "distributed energy storage devices".

The document proposes that, The fire protection area of indoor energy storage power stations with fire hazards of Class A and B should not be larger than 250㎡,and should be divided into energy storage units and battery units according to the rated energy, while meeting the following requirements:

a) The rated energy of the energy storage unit should not exceed 10 MWh;

b) Fire separation should be carried out between the energy storage unit and the surrounding rooms and between the energy storage units. The fire separation should meet the following requirements: 1) The fire resistance limit of the fire wall should not be less than 4h; 2) The fire resistance limit of the floor should not be less than 2h; 3) No other doors and windows should be opened on the fire wall except for the evacuation doors leading to the evacuation passage and the outside; when it is necessary to open an observation window, a Class A fire-resistant window should be used; 4) When pipelines pass through the fire wall and floor, the gaps around the pipelines should be fire-blocked, and the fire-blocking should comply with the relevant provisions of GB/T 51410.

c) Fire-resistant walls with a fire resistance limit of not less than 3h and Class A fire doors should be used to separate the battery units from adjacent unit areas, and it should be ensured that the battery units that have not had an accident will not be affected when water fire fighting is used for accident handling.
