According to information in Shanghai Securities News on June 29th, on June 28th,Guangdong Electric Power Trading Center was officially inaugurated. Next, in Guangdong, electric sales market construction, electricity transmission and distribution price reform, opening electricity distribution network and other core works all enter into in-depth implementation phase, regarding trading center as platform and building the market operating system with sound functions, transparent rules, standard operation and perfect service as soon as possible.
It is understood that Guangdong Electricity Trading Center is controlled by Guangdong Power Grid Company and held by other market entities and the third party generating and selling electricity in the province. In fact, from March to June in this year,Guangdong Electricity Trading Center has completed four bid transactions through its trading platform and its cumulative electricity reached 5.77 billion kw/h.
As is known, there are 678 market entities participating in Guangdong Electricity Trading. Among these there are 38 power plants, 390 large consumers, which increased by 15% and 101% respectively compared to that of last year. In addition, there are also 11 zones (237 small consumers in the zone) and 13 electricity sales companies. Commissioning unit capacity is 50.13 million kw, taking up 48.5% of provincial tracking unit capacity.
For trading rules, there are two trading mechanisms covering annual bilateral consultation and monthly focused competition. When bidding, we could quote a price according to electric quantity in sections and make a deal according to declared price priority while conducting a transaction according to environmental protection unit when the price of electricity generation side is the same. The entire process is completed through online trading system.
Shenwan Hongyuan research report pointed out, the first bath electricity sales companies were mainly state-owned electricity generation enterprises and the second batch were mainly private third parties, the addition of which will accelerate the change of the industry profit model. Currently, electricity sales companies buy low and sell high. Making “excessive profits” in short time will not last long and low profits, large trading volumes and value-added services are the way forward.
Director of China Institute for Studies in Energy Policy,Xiamen University, Lin Boqiang said that Guangdong electricity reform has yet to be further progress.
“Next, we need to continue to expand trading volumes firstly. Due to large consumer direct purchase model now, basic electricity for market price is still too little; second, in order to realize usualness transaction, a transaction can’t be achieved once for several weeks for a trading center. It is necessary to take a part of electricity for daily transactions. Only by doing this can the reform be further progress. In addition, government still has to improve the threshold and mechanism of electricity sales companies.”
In the future, as the further liberalization of the market of electricity sale side, the market is expected to open the market worth trillion yuan while four types of electricity sales company will seize the opportunity first. The future electricity sales company should cover the following types: 1. the regional power grid company; 2. Electricity generation company. 3. Distributed energy enterprise. 4. Electrical services company owning charging facilities.
