Accelerate the establishment of a new energy storage cost relief mechanism

What is the 'guidance on accelerating the development of new energy storage?

Since April 21, 2021, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration have issued the ‘Guidance on Accelerating the Development of New Energy Storage (Draft for Solicitation of Comments)’ (referred to as the ‘Guidance’), which has given rise to the energy storage industry and even the energy industry.

How to marketize energy storage transactions?

As the capacity market mechanism matures, it is advisable to gradually promote the marketization of energy storage transactions. Through market competition, capacity compensation prices can be formed, and ultimately, these costs can be distributed among all users through transmission and distribution tariffs. 5. Conclusion

How can a capacity market be adapted for energy storage?

4) Adaptation of the capacity compensation mechanism for energy storage. In the initial stages of establishing a capacity market, it is recommended to consider compensation mechanisms from regions such as North America and the United Kingdom.

How to develop China's energy storage industry?

Finally, in line with the development expectations of China’s future electricity market, suggestions are proposed from four aspects: Market environment construction, electricity price formation mechanism, cost sharing path, and policy subsidy mechanism, to promote the healthy and rapid development of China’s energy storage industry. 1. Introduction

What are energy storage profits under a dual-pricing system?

Under the current dual-pricing system, energy storage profits mainly include capacity income, electricity income, and ancillary services income, achieved through reducing the demand for thermal power capacity, peak-valley price arbitrage, and providing ancillary services.

Are market mechanisms conducive to cost-sharing of energy storage?

However, the current market mechanisms are not conducive to the proper cost-sharing of energy storage and are difficult to support the large-scale investment and operation of future new energy storage projects in China.
