Renewable energy power given guarantee mechanism and power system reform and electricity market construction, the relationship between the director said that the overall power system reform goal, is to accelerate the construction of effective competition market structure and market system, the mechanism of formation is mainly decided by the market energy price, play a decisive role in market allocation resources. Electricity market is the main environment for renewable energy consumption in the future.
Globally, more than 100 countries or federal states (provinces) have implemented renewable energy electricity consumption guarantee mechanism. The United Kingdom, Australia, the United States and other countries with mature electricity markets also generally adopt the consumption guarantee mechanism to promote the development and utilization of renewable energy. China is in the stage of power system reform and power market construction. We will establish and improve the guarantee mechanism for the consumption of renewable energy power, with the aim of promoting the local consumption of renewable energy and realizing the optimal allocation of renewable energy across provinces and regions through market-based means. In terms of the overall objective and market thinking, the guarantee mechanism is consistent with the reform of electric power system and the construction of electric power market.
Among the major renewable energy sources, photovoltaic has been attracting a lot of attention. At the beginning of this year, the state issued an article to actively promote the photovoltaic power generation without subsidy parity, many people are concerned about whether the industry development is stable.
As can be seen from the overall development of renewable energy in the first quarter of this year, photovoltaic power generation has maintained rapid growth.
In the first quarter, 5.2 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power were installed, including 2.4 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power stations and 2.8 million kilowatts of distributed photovoltaic power. China's photovoltaic power generation reached 44 billion kilowatt-hours, up 26% year-on-year. The national average photovoltaic utilization hours are 240 hours.
Recently, some photovoltaic enterprises have invested in capacity expansion, a series of changes in the market also shows that the photovoltaic industry prosperity is improving.
