Local Policies and Headlines

01 The Energy Bureau of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is publicly seeking comments on the "Implementation Plan for the Development and Construction of Green Electricity Direct-Connection Projects in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (Trial)."

On November 19, the Energy Bureau of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region publicly sought comments on the "Implementation Plan for the Development and Construction of Green Power Direct Connection Projects (Trial)," which encourages green power direct connection projects to enhance their self-balancing and self-regulating capabilities by integrating energy storage systems and tapping into flexible load-adjustment potential. This approach aims to minimize system regulation pressures as much as possible, with any discarded renewable energy excluded from official statistics. Project plans must align with the annual renewable energy utilization targets set by the Autonomous Region Energy Bureau. Additionally, project planning should carefully determine the maximum peak-to-valley load difference, ensuring that the peak-to-valley disparity in power supplied to the project from the public grid does not exceed the planned value outlined in the scheme. Internally, green power direct connection projects must ensure that resources are fully observable, measurable, adjustable, and controllable. They are also required to provide relevant data to power dispatching agencies in accordance with guidelines such as the "Grid Operation Standards." Finally, green power direct connection projects should comprehensively evaluate internal source-load characteristics, balancing capabilities, economic benefits, and power exchange dynamics with the public grid, before determining an optimal grid-connected capacity. Furthermore, they must collaborate with grid operators to clarify responsibilities and costs associated with power supply beyond the agreed-upon grid-connected capacity.

The green electricity direct connection project should have separate metering capabilities. Metering devices should be installed in each business unit, including internal power generation, plant electricity consumption, self-generated and self-used power, and energy storage. For facilities within the plant area that already have coal-fired or other self-owned power plants, newly built renewable energy projects and energy storage units—as well as their respective electricity loads—must be metered separately from the original self-owned power plants and existing load demands.

02 The Jiangxi Provincial Energy Administration seeks opinions on "Relevant Proposals for 2026 Provincial Electricity Market Trading."

On November 18, the Jiangxi Provincial Energy Bureau sought opinions on provincial-level electricity market trading for 2026, noting that new types of market participants—such as advanced energy storage systems and virtual power plants—that meet market access requirements and technical criteria can, after registering and becoming effective at the Jiangxi Electricity Trading Center, independently choose their role as either power generation or consumption-side entities to participate in market-based transactions. The registration conditions and procedures for the virtual power plant market, agreements on aggregated service packages with resource-owning entities, and participation in electricity market trading will all be carried out in accordance with the province's Virtual Power Plant Operation Plan and relevant rules and detailed regulations governing the electricity market.

Power generation enterprises

At this stage, the following power sources are temporarily participating in electricity market trading; further adjustments to the requirements for these sources to enter the market will be made as appropriate, based on national and provincial guidelines and other relevant factors.

1. Coal-fired generating units: All publicly-owned coal-fired units that meet market access requirements and technical standards, and are included in dispatch management, will participate fully in the market.

2. New energy generation units: All electricity generated by wind power and photovoltaic enterprises that is fed into the grid will enter the market, participating in market-based trading according to the requirements outlined in the "Implementation Plan for Market-Oriented Reform of New Energy Grid-Parity Prices in Jiangxi Province" (Gan Fa Gai Jia Guan [2025] No. 718) and its accompanying documents.

Electricity users

In principle, commercial and industrial users with 10 kV and above voltage levels are required to directly participate in market-based transactions (purchasing electricity directly from power generation companies or retail electricity providers). For those unable to directly engage in market-based trading at this time, grid enterprises will act as agents for electricity procurement. Other commercial and industrial users are encouraged to participate directly in market-based transactions. Electricity users participating in market-based trading—including both wholesale and retail transactions—will have all their commercial and industrial consumption account numbers and metering points associated with their Unified Social Credit Code within the grid enterprise's marketing system fully integrated into the market-based trading framework.

Electricity users who choose to participate in the wholesale market may not simultaneously entrust a power sales company to purchase electricity for them within the same contract period. Meanwhile, electricity users opting for the retail market can establish a retail service relationship with only one power sales company during the same contract period, with a minimum duration of one calendar month. Electricity users have the flexibility to independently decide whether to engage in wholesale or retail market transactions on a monthly basis, but they can select only one of these two models within any given calendar month.

03 The Liuzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission forwarded the "Notice on Issuing and Implementing Measures and Division of Responsibilities for Strengthening Safety Management of Electrochemical Energy Storage," issued by the Guangxi Development and Reform Commission.

On November 18, the Development and Reform Commission of Liuzhou City forwarded the "Notice on Issuing and Implementing Measures and Division of Responsibilities for Strengthening Safety Management of Electrochemical Energy Storage," issued by Guangxi's Development and Reform Commission. The document stated: "One year after a project is put into operation, the project entity must commission a qualified third-party organization with professional credentials to conduct a safety assessment of the current status, and submit the safety assessment report as required. Key areas of focus should include battery degradation, operational and maintenance management vulnerabilities, and issues related to time-limited corrective actions."

Guide project entities to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the safety production conditions and facilities for electrochemical energy storage projects during the project feasibility study phase, preparing a safety pre-assessment report for future reference. The report should cover aspects such as battery system design, fire protection facility layout, and emergency response plans.

After the project is completed or enters trial operation, conduct on-site inspections, with a focus on verifying whether safety facilities have been constructed according to the design (such as gas extinguishing systems and explosion-proof electrical equipment). Any issues identified should be promptly addressed and rectified.

The project entity shall implement comprehensive safety management throughout all stages of the electrochemical energy storage project—planning, design, construction, operation, and decommissioning—ensuring that safety facilities are designed, constructed, and put into operation simultaneously with the main project.

04 The North China Energy Regulatory Bureau has released the "Operating Rules for the Peak-Shaving Ancillary Services Market in Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan (Draft for Comments)."

On November 17, the North China Energy Regulatory Bureau released the "Operating Rules for the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan Electricity Peak-Shaving Ancillary Services Market (Draft for Comments)," which clearly states: New energy storage systems will declare their maximum charging capacity and corresponding charging prices every 15 minutes on a daily basis. Bids will not be categorized by price tiers; instead, the upper limit will match the highest cap set for thermal power units—at 370 yuan/MWh—and bids submitted throughout the day must remain identical.

The new energy storage system simultaneously reports information such as charge/discharge ramp-up rates, the maximum number of daily charge-discharge cycles (defaulting to 2 if not specified), and the maximum single-charge capacity, which are used as constraints in market clearing. Meanwhile, the corresponding pre-discharge process is coordinated and scheduled by the dispatching agency based on actual grid operations and the discharge plan submitted by the new energy storage plant.

The fee for the new energy storage peaking service, which provides peak-shaving assistance, is calculated every 15 minutes as follows: New Energy Storage Peaking Service Fee = Actual Charging Power of the New Energy Storage System × Market Clearing Price × 0.25.

Peak-shaving service costs are borne by thermal power (coal-fired and gas-fired), wind power, and photovoltaic energy (excluding poverty-alleviation PV stations). New energy storage systems, in principle, do not discharge electricity during market operation periods and thus do not participate in the allocation of peak-shaving service costs.

The allocated electricity for new energy sources is calculated by subtracting the电量 used to charge self-consumed energy storage systems from the total power generated by new-energy plants, while the allocated electricity for thermal power is determined based on the portion of generation output that exceeds the average generation load rate.

05 The Shaanxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission has released the "Shaanxi Province 2026 Electricity Market Trading Implementation Plan (Draft for Comments)."

On November 14, 2025, the Shaanxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission released the "Implementation Plan for Shaanxi Province's 2026 Electricity Market Trading (Draft for Comments)." The document specifies that independent energy storage power stations meeting relevant regulatory requirements can participate in market trading, while also encouraging flexible resources such as virtual power plants and energy storage to join the spot market. To prevent market manipulation and excessive competition, the plan sets upper and lower price limits for centralized wholesale market transactions conducted on a monthly or longer basis. These limits are determined by comprehensively considering factors such as peak electricity prices for industrial and commercial users in the province, coal-fired power generation tariffs connected to the grid, and capacity pricing policies. As a result, the temporary upper and lower price limits for each trading period are set at 0.52 yuan and 0 yuan per kilowatt-hour, respectively. Notably, the price caps for each period during monthly centralized trading will align with the upper and lower limits of the actual spot market prices in Shaanxi.

In terms of retail market settlement, electricity users who have signed up for 24-hour time-of-use retail packages, along with distributed new energy sources and energy storage systems, will undergo hourly settlement on a monthly basis based on the 24-hour schedule. Here are the average hourly prices and the corresponding reference fluctuation ranges for Shaanxi's spot real-time market from January to October 2025, as illustrated in the figure below:

06 The Shenzhen Futian District Bureau of Development and Reform has released the "Several Measures to Support the High-Quality Development of Green and Low-Carbon Industries in Shenzhen's Futian District."

On November 13, 2025, the Shenzhen Futian District Bureau of Development and Reform issued a notice announcing the release of the "Several Measures to Support the High-Quality Development of Green and Low-Carbon Industries in Futian District, Shenzhen." The document highlights that key areas of support include renewable energy, energy storage, photovoltaic-storage-direct-flexible systems, charging and battery-swapping facilities, virtual power plants, and green electricity trading.

Encourage the development of high-safety, high-reliability, and long-life energy storage projects within the jurisdiction. After project acceptance and operation, electrochemical energy storage projects with actual investments exceeding 1 million yuan will receive support of up to 0.5 yuan/kWh based on their actual power discharge volume from the previous year. Each project can benefit from this support for a period of 3 years, with the total support amount for a single project capped at 20% of its actual construction investment—up to a maximum of 2 million yuan.

Support enterprises in carrying out photovoltaic-storage-direct-flexible (PV-Storage-Direct-Flexible) project construction within their jurisdictions. For PV-Storage-Direct-Flexible projects that pass acceptance inspection and involve actual investments exceeding 1 million yuan, enterprises will receive support of up to 20% of the project's total construction investment, with a maximum subsidy of 5 million yuan.

Support enterprises in developing integrated energy projects such as solar-plus-storage ultra-fast charging or solar-plus-storage battery swapping within their jurisdictions, equipped with comprehensive facilities for photovoltaic power generation, energy storage, and charging/swapping services, along with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) interaction capabilities. For approved integrated energy projects with actual investments exceeding 1 million yuan, financial support will be provided at up to 20% of the project's total construction costs, with a maximum subsidy of 5 million yuan.

07 The Gansu Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology has released the "Implementation Plan for the Construction and Operation Management of Virtual Power Plants in Gansu Province."

On November 14, the Gansu Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology issued a notice announcing the release of the "Implementation Plan for the Construction and Operation Management of Virtual Power Plants in Gansu Province." The plan highlights that by 2027, the mechanisms for constructing, operating, and managing virtual power plants will be fully matured and standardized, with robust and well-established participation frameworks in the electricity market. By this time, the province's virtual power plants are expected to achieve an adjustable capacity of over 250,000 kilowatts, laying the groundwork for a scaled-up, market-oriented operational model. By 2030, the application scenarios for virtual power plants will be comprehensively expanded, fostering innovative development of various business models. By then, the province's virtual power plants aim to reach an adjustable capacity of more than 700,000 kilowatts, becoming a critical support for the construction of a new-type power system.

08 The Inner Mongolia Electricity Trading Center has released the "Implementation Rules for Virtual Power Plant Transactions in Inner Mongolia's Multi-party Electricity Market."

On November 14, the Inner Mongolia Electricity Trading Center released the "Implementation Details for Virtual Power Plant Transactions in Inner Mongolia's Multi-party Electricity Market." Currently, virtual power plants primarily aggregate independently operated energy storage systems, market-oriented users, as well as distributed photovoltaic and decentralized wind power resources that are not directly managed by grid dispatch. All aggregated resources must be officially registered on the electricity trading platform. Based on resource type, virtual power plants are categorized into load-based and generation-based models.

Virtual power plant operators are responsible for developing their own operational platforms, identifying and leveraging resources, aggregating users, providing agency services, and building capabilities—while also participating in various market transactions, responding to grid demands, and ensuring transparent information disclosure.

Virtual power plant operators participating in market transactions should follow the Management Measures for Performance Bonds (or Insurance) of Power Sales Companies, submitting a separate performance bond or insurance at a rate of 0.008 yuan per kilowatt-hour. For aggregated load resources engaging in demand response transactions, the performance bond or insurance must be based on the declared capacity and converted into electricity volume according to the specified response time. Meanwhile, aggregated generation resources taking part in electric energy trading should submit their performance bond or insurance corresponding to the total aggregated power output—with the beneficiary always being the grid company.

Virtual power plants participate in corresponding market transactions based on their type: load-type virtual power plants engage in trading within the relevant electricity consumption categories, while power-source-type virtual power plants participate in generation-related transactions, following the pricing model of competitive new energy projects.

Virtual power plants should establish internal risk-control mechanisms to ensure the standardization, fairness, and traceability of processes such as trade reporting, contract fulfillment, and metering & settlement, thereby preventing market manipulation and unfair competitive practices.
