On April 7, the reporter learned from the press conference held by the Inner Mongolia Energy Bureau on "Adjusting and Optimizing the Trading Mechanism of the Western Mongolia Power Market in 2024" that the Western Mongolia Power Market transactions in 2024 will adjust the upper and lower limits of medium and long-term contracted electricity, and power user contracts. Replacement trading model, carry out listing and trading of surplus contracted electricity from agency power purchase contracts, and encourage coal-fired power generation companies to sign more medium and long-term contracts.

It is reported that the "upgraded" version of the Mengxi Power Market trading mechanism is optimized on the basis of maintaining the basic framework of medium-and long-term transactions unchanged, and the existing trading cycle and organizational method unchanged. Its purpose is to effectively connect medium-and long-term transactions with various mechanisms in the spot market, and give full play to the complementary role of the spot market in medium-and long-term transactions. At the same time, photovoltaic industry enterprises and computing power industries with entire industrial chains in Inner Mongolia are encouraged to further increase the proportion of clean energy use and promote the development of the industry into the entire industrial chain.

According to Chen Zheng, deputy director of the Inner Mongolia Energy Bureau, the adjustment and optimization of the trading mechanism of the Inner Mongolia Power Market are mainly reflected in three aspects:The first is to adjust the medium-and long-term trading mechanism to release more medium-and long-term contract electricity. The upper and lower limits of medium and long-term contracted electricity, and the power user contract replacement trading model have been adjusted, and the remaining contracted electricity for agency purchase has been listed and traded, coal-fired power generation companies have been encouraged to sign more medium and long-term contracts, and targeted solutions to the problem of difficulty in signing medium and long-term contracts for market entities. The second is to optimize spot market settlement and promote smooth operation of the market. Optimize the new energy risk prevention and allocation mechanism, keep the current spot market zoning unchanged, consider the settlement price of coal-fired units in the process of allocating new energy risk prevention costs, and improve the profitability of coal-fired units. The third is to moderately relax settlement assessments and reduce users 'electricity costs. Appropriately relax deviation assessment requirements, adjust the medium-and long-term excess recovery verification methods for power users, reduce the monthly medium-and long-term contract signing ratio requirements for power users, reduce user assessment fees, and reduce users 'electricity costs.

"This adjustment sets reasonable upper and lower limits for the contracted electricity quantity of market entities. Users in the general industry do not exceed 105% of the maximum monthly electricity consumption last year and the maximum electricity consumption last month this year. Users in the high-energy-carrying industry do not exceed 103% of the maximum monthly electricity consumption last year and the maximum electricity consumption last month this year. The lower limit for the medium and long-term contract ratio of coal-fired generating units on the power generation side has been adjusted from 90% to 95%. In addition, the optimized trading mechanism is also reflected in adjusting the user-side contract transfer transaction from the negotiation model to a centralized bidding transaction model in which the transferee unilaterally bids and marginal clearing. This can effectively limit the role of market power in the seller's market and ensure The fairness and stability of the market." said Xin Li, general manager of Inner Mongolia Electric Power Trading Center.
