The reform of electric power system is an important part of China's economic system reform. since the opening of a new round of electric power reform in 2015, the market-oriented reform of electric power has been promoted in depth.

In October 2021, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the Circular on further deepening the Market-oriented Reform of on-grid electricity Price for Coal-fired Power Generation, abolishing the sales electricity price of industrial and commercial catalogue, liberalizing the online electricity price of all coal-fired power generation, and promoting all industrial and commercial users to enter the market.

In the area of renewable energy, the guidance on speeding up the Construction of a National Unified electricity Market system issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Energy Administration in January 2022 is clear that new energy will fully participate in market transactions by 2030.

The measures for regulating the purchase of electricity from Renewable Energy by full guarantee, which was formally implemented in April this year, has changed the description of "guaranteed quantity" and "guaranteed price" of electricity purchased by renewable energy in previous policies. it will be related to the national renewable energy consumption security mechanism to promote renewable energy to participate in market competition in an orderly manner.

Guosheng Securities said that the pace of construction of the electricity market will be further accelerated this year, and it is expected to speed up the construction of the spot market and auxiliary services, and the more mature medium-and long-term transactions may be further improved.

The issue of new energy consumption is also a prominent contradiction hindering the reform of the electric power system, and has been concerned by the central government for many times.

On February 29th, the political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held its 12th collective study on new energy technology and China's energy security. when presiding over the study, Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to meet the needs of energy transformation and further build a new energy infrastructure network. we will promote the intelligent transformation of power grid infrastructure and the construction of smart microgrids, and improve the grid's ability to accept, configure and regulate clean energy.

In addition to the support formed by the policy side, the peak summer is approaching, and the expected surge in power demand also promotes the strength of the power sector.

The China Meteorological Administration expects temperatures in other parts of the country to be higher in May, with the exception of northern Heilongjiang and western Xizang, which are close to the same period of the year.

Recently, meetings have been held frequently in various places to welcome the peak and spend the summer. On May 17, Zhang Jianhua, secretary of the party leading group and director of the State Energy Administration, also led a team to the State Grid Corporation to investigate the work of ensuring power supply in the summer.

The National Energy Administration said in April that the national electricity load is expected to increase rapidly this summer, with the maximum load increasing by more than 100 million kilowatts compared with the same period last year.

According to a comprehensive study, during the peak summer period this year, the national power supply is generally guaranteed, and there may be a shortage of power supply in some areas during the peak hours, mainly in Inner Mongolia and some provinces in East China, Central China, Southwest and South China. In the event of extreme and disastrous weather, the shortage of electricity supply may be further aggravated. " According to the National Energy Administration.
