01   National Energy Administration Issues "Notice on Organizing and Carrying Out the First Batch of Pilot Projects for the Construction of a New Power System"
On June 4, the National Energy Administration issued the "Notice on Organizing and Carrying Out the First Batch of Pilot Projects for the Construction of a New Power System." The notice proposes focusing on breakthroughs, initially focusing on seven areas for pilot projects: grid-forming technology, system-friendly renewable energy power plants, smart microgrids, synergy between computing power and electricity, virtual power plants, large-scale, high-proportion renewable energy transmission, and a new generation of coal-fired power plants.
Grid-forming technology. Focuses on areas with weak power grids with a high proportion of renewable energy integration and large-scale renewable energy transmission areas in "desert, gobi, and barren" regions, applying grid-forming control technology for renewable energy/new energy storage to effectively solve problems such as reduced short-circuit capacity, reduced inertia, and wide-frequency oscillations, and improve the ability of renewable energy to connect to and transmit power. In areas with weak grid structures and isolated operation systems, grid-forming control technology is applied to improve system voltage, frequency, and power angle stability, enhancing power supply safety and stable system operation.
Construct a batch of smart microgrid projects, relying on technologies such as flexible load-side resource control, source-grid-load-storage networking and coordinated operation control, to improve the self-peak-shaving and self-balancing capabilities of smart microgrids, increase the proportion of self-generation and self-consumption of renewable energy, and alleviate the pressure on large power grid absorption.

Focusing on scenarios such as aggregating distributed power resources, enhancing flexible regulation capabilities, reducing power supply gaps, and promoting renewable energy consumption, a number of different types of virtual power plants will be newly built or renovated as appropriate. By aggregating distributed power sources, controllable loads, and energy storage, and other distributed resources on the load side, and through coordinated optimization control, the flexible regulation capabilities will be fully utilized. Continuously enrich the business models of virtual power plants, obtain corresponding income through participation in the electricity market, demand response, providing energy-saving services, energy data analysis, energy solution design, and carbon trading-related services, etc.

The construction or renovation start time of the declared projects must be after August 2024.

02 National Energy Administration Issues "Implementation Opinions on Further Deepening the Management of Power Business Qualification Licensing to Better Serve the Construction of a New Power System"

On June 3, the National Energy Administration issued the "Implementation Opinions on Further Deepening the Management of Power Business Qualification Licensing to Better Serve the Construction of a New Power System" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"). The Opinions propose optimizing the qualification licensing management system. Support the innovative development of new models and new formats in the power field. Except as otherwise provided, distributed photovoltaic, distributed wind power, new energy storage, and smart microgrids, etc., will be included in the scope of exemption from power business licenses. Reasonably reduce the licensing levels for the installation, repair, and testing of power facilities, scientifically adjust the access conditions and standards, further stimulate the vitality of business entities, and promote high-quality development of the industry.
Improve the management of power business licenses for power supply. The establishment and changes of power supply service areas should be in accordance with the relevant requirements of the "Regulations on the Division and Management of Power Supply Service Areas," and after being reviewed and approved by the dispatched institutions together with the provincial power authorities, a power business license (power supply category) will be issued. For power supply enterprises (excluding incremental power distribution enterprises) applying for the establishment or change of power supply service areas, the dispatched institutions should, after acceptance, promptly send the application materials to the provincial power management departments for joint review, and record the review opinions in the National Energy Administration's Qualification and Credit Information System (hereinafter referred to as the Credit Information System); the relevant licensing procedures will generally follow the general procedures, and the processing time limit will not exceed 45 working days.
Guarantee the licensing rights of incremental power distribution enterprises. According to the "Implementation Measures for the Division of Power Distribution Areas for Incremental Power Distribution Business," incremental power distribution enterprises that have obtained power business licenses (power supply category) shall, in accordance with the law, enjoy the rights to invest in, construct, and manage the power distribution network within their jurisdiction. Relevant power grid enterprises should provide grid interconnection services fairly and without discrimination in accordance with national regulations; other enterprises shall not develop new users within the incremental power distribution areas that have already obtained licenses.
Consolidate work responsibilities. The National Energy Administration strengthens the guidance and efficiency evaluation of qualification licensing management, coordinates the promotion of key matters, and coordinates the handling of major issues. Various dispatched institutions should further strengthen the management of qualification licensing in their jurisdictions and conduct in-process and post-process supervision in accordance with the law and regulations. Provincial power authorities should, according to their own functions, do a good job in the division of power distribution areas for incremental power distribution business, and cooperate in carrying out the adjustment of power supply service areas, coordinated supervision of electricity market access, and the collection and sharing of credit information. All licensed enterprises should earnestly enhance their awareness of the rule of law, strictly abide by the various system requirements of qualification licensing management, and jointly maintain the order of electricity market access.

03 Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, National Development and Reform Commission, and National Data Administration Jointly Issue "Implementation Plan for the Digital Transformation of the Electronics Information Manufacturing Industry"

On May 27, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the National Data Administration jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for the Digital Transformation of the Electronics Information Manufacturing Industry." It proposes: For sub-sectors such as photovoltaics, lithium batteries, and new energy storage, cultivate and promote solutions such as intelligent process analysis, cooling cycle system monitoring, rapid and precise temperature control, high-precision positioning detection, motor predictive maintenance, intelligent warehousing and logistics, intelligent integrated photovoltaic and storage systems, intelligent string-type energy storage systems, full-chain traceability of battery products, battery management systems, and after-sales service traceability.
The Plan also points out that it will cultivate and expand the integrated industry of intelligent and green development. Continue to tap into new growth drivers in energy electronics, accelerate the application of advanced computing, industrial internet, internet of things, and artificial intelligence and other digital intelligence technologies in the research and development and manufacturing processes of lithium batteries and photovoltaic products. Promote new models such as intelligent power prediction and intelligent station operation, promote data sharing of photovoltaic power generation and energy storage, and cultivate and expand the integrated industry of digital and green synergy.

04 National Development and Reform Commission and National Energy Administration Jointly Issue "Notice on the Orderly Promotion of Green Electricity Direct Connection Development"

On May 21, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the "Notice on the Orderly Promotion of Green Electricity Direct Connection Development," which clearly encourages improving system friendliness. Grid-connected green electricity direct connection projects should fully enhance their flexible regulation capabilities through reasonable configuration of energy storage and tapping the potential for flexible load regulation, and minimize system regulation pressure.
Match the source and load. Grid-connected projects should scientifically determine the type and installed capacity of renewable energy power sources according to the principle of "determining the source based on the load." In areas with continuous operation of the spot market, a model of mainly self-generation and self-consumption and supplementary grid connection can be adopted; in areas where the spot market is not continuously operated, it is not allowed to send power back to the public power grid. The annual self-generation and self-consumption of renewable energy for the entire project should account for no less than 60% of the total available power generation and no less than 30% of the total power consumption, and the proportion of self-generation and self-consumption should be continuously improved, reaching no less than 35% before 2030.
The project planning plan should reasonably determine the maximum peak-to-valley difference rate of the project, and the peak-to-valley difference rate of power exchange between the project and the public power grid should not be higher than the planned value in the plan. During periods when renewable energy consumption is difficult, the project should not send power back to the public power grid. The project should manage reactive power and power quality in accordance with relevant management requirements and technical standards.
The upper limit of the proportion of online electricity to the total available power generation capacity is determined by the provincial energy authorities in combination with the actual situation, generally not exceeding 20%. Local areas can reasonably set new energy utilization targets based on information such as self-generation and self-use, the proportion of online electricity, source-load matching, and adjustment capacity in the project construction plan. The project should adjust internal power generation and load to ensure that the power exchange between the project and the public power grid does not exceed the declared capacity, and it should bear the relevant responsibilities for power outages caused by its own reasons.
In principle, the load is the main responsible unit for green electricity direct connection projects. Various operating entities, including private enterprises (excluding grid enterprises), can invest in green electricity direct connection projects. The project power source can be invested by the load, or by the power generation enterprise or a joint venture company established by both parties. The direct connection line should be invested by the load and power source entities in principle. If the project power source and load are not invested by the same investor, a multi-year power purchase agreement or an energy performance contract should be signed.
Grid-connected green electricity direct connection projects should, in principle, participate in the electricity market transaction as a whole, arrange production according to the market transaction results, and settle accounts according to the power exchange with the public power grid. The project load shall not be purchased by the grid enterprise. If the project power source and load are not invested by the same investor, they can also be registered separately and participate in the electricity market transaction in an aggregated form.
