02  The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the "Basic Rules of the Power Ancillary Services Market" (April 29th)

On April 29th, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration officially issued the "Basic Rules of the Power Ancillary Services Market". The rules stipulate that new business entities such as energy storage enterprises, virtual power plants, smart microgrids, and vehicle-grid interaction can participate in the power ancillary services market. The main types of power ancillary services include peak regulation services, frequency regulation services, backup services, and ramp-up services.
The power ancillary services market refers to a market operation mechanism in which business entities provide ancillary services through market-oriented mechanisms and obtain corresponding income based on market rules.
Market members: Business entities, grid enterprises, and market operating institutions, etc.
Business entities: Power generation enterprises, power sales enterprises, power users, and new business entities (including energy storage enterprises, virtual power plants, smart microgrids, vehicle-grid interaction operation enterprises, etc.).
Cost generation mechanism:
Peak regulation service fees are calculated based on the clearing price, the winning peak regulation output, and the actual peak regulation output, or the clearing price and the number of starts and stops. Frequency regulation service fees are calculated based on the frequency regulation mileage, performance coefficient, clearing price, etc. Backup service fees are calculated based on the winning capacity, winning time, clearing price, etc. Ramp-up service fees are calculated based on the winning capacity, winning time, clearing price, etc. The electricity energy costs incurred by business entities in providing ancillary services are settled according to the electricity energy market rules.
Cost transmission mechanism:
Following the principle of "who benefits, who bears", a cost transmission mechanism for power ancillary services will be established in conjunction with the construction of the electricity spot market.
In areas where the electricity spot market is not continuously operating, ancillary service fees are not generally passed on to the user side.
In areas where the electricity spot market is continuously operating, the regulated frequency regulation, backup, and other power ancillary service fees that meet the regulations are generally shared by the user's electricity consumption and the on-grid electricity that does not participate in electricity energy market transactions, and the sharing ratio is determined by the provincial price authorities.
Independent energy storage, virtual power plants, and other "generation and use integrated" entities participate in the sharing or distribution of generation-side (user-side) ancillary service fees according to the on-grid (off-grid) electricity during the settlement period.
Market connection:
Coordinate the overall construction of the electricity energy market, the power ancillary services market, etc. The active ancillary services market such as frequency regulation, backup, and ramp-up can be cleared independently from the spot market, and when conditions permit, it will be promoted to be jointly cleared with the spot market.
Based on the needs of grid resource allocation and system operation constraints, and the construction of provincial/regional electricity spot markets, establish provincial/regional frequency regulation, backup, and other service markets in a targeted manner. Regional peak regulation and regional backup with electricity energy exchange should be promptly converted into electricity energy transactions.

On April 30th, the Jiangsu Provincial Development and Reform Commission officially issued the "Notice on Optimizing the Time-of-Use Electricity Price Structure for Industry and Commerce to Promote New Energy Consumption, Reduce Enterprise Electricity Costs, and Support Economic and Social Development." This adjustment has widened the fluctuation range of peak and valley electricity prices and added a midday low-valley period. The document will be implemented from June 1st.

The document clearly encourages industrial and commercial users to actively reduce electricity consumption during peak hours and increase electricity consumption during off-peak hours by configuring energy storage (energy storage) devices, carrying out comprehensive energy management, etc., effectively reducing electricity costs by optimizing electricity consumption periods.

For industrial and commercial users implementing two-part tariffs, the previous peak increase of 72% and valley decrease of 58% have been adjusted to a peak increase of 80% and a valley decrease of 65%.

For industrial and commercial users implementing single-part tariffs and with a capacity of 100 kVA or more, the previous peak increase of 67% and valley decrease of 55% have been adjusted to a peak increase of 70% and a valley decrease of 65%.

For industrial and commercial users implementing single-part tariffs and with a capacity of less than 100 kVA, the previous peak increase of 67% and valley decrease of 55% have been adjusted to a peak increase of 60% and a valley decrease of 65%.
