(3) The national electricity supply and demand
In 2023, the power system will operate safely and stably, the overall balance of power supply and demand across the country, and good results will be achieved in ensuring power supply. At the beginning of the year, due to the superposition of factors such as dry water, thermal coal shortage, and electricity load growth, a few provincial power grids such as Yunnan, Guizhou, and Mengxi were relatively tight in the power supply and demand situation during some periods. In the summer, the relevant departments and power companies have made full preparations in advance, and the overall balance of the national power supply and demand situation during the peak summer has been achieved, and the provincial power grids have not taken orderly power consumption measures, creating the best results in the peak summer power supply in recent years. In winter, there was a wide range of strong cold waves, heavy rain and snow weather in many places in December, and power industry enterprises made every effort to cope with rain, snow and ice, and the power supply and demand situation of nearly ten provincial power grids across the country was tight, and some provincial power grids ensured the safe and stable operation of the power system through measures such as demand-side response.
2. National electricity supply and demand situation in 2024**.
a) Electricity consumption**
It is expected that the country's electricity consumption will grow steadily in 2024. Taking into account factors such as macroeconomy and terminal energy electrification, according to the results of different methods on the electricity consumption of the whole society, it is estimated that the electricity consumption of the whole society in 2024 will be 98 trillion kWh, an increase of about 6% over 2023. It is estimated that in 2024, the maximum electricity load in the country will be 14500 million kilowatts, an increase of about 100 million kilowatts over 2023.
(2) Electricity***
It is estimated that the installed capacity of new power generation will exceed 300 million kilowatts in 2024, and the cumulative installed capacity of new energy power generation will exceed the installed capacity of coal power for the first time. Driven by the sustained and rapid development of new energy power generation, it is expected that the new installed power generation capacity in the country will exceed 300 million kilowatts again in 2024, and the new scale will be basically the same as in 2023. By the end of 2024, the country's installed power generation capacity is expected to reach 32500 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of about 12%. Thermal power 14600 million kilowatts, of which about 1.2 billion kilowatts are coal-fired power, accounting for 37% of the largest units. The total installed capacity of non-fossil energy power generation is 18600 million kilowatts, accounting for about 57% of the first machine; Among them, 5 grid-connected wind power300 million kilowatts, grid-connected solar power 7800 million kilowatts, the total installed capacity of grid-connected wind power and solar power generation will exceed the installed capacity of coal power, accounting for about 40% of the first capacity, and the pressure on new energy consumption in some areas is highlighted.
(3) Electricity supply and demand situation**
It is expected that the national power supply and demand situation will be tightly balanced during the peak summer and winter of 2024. Electricity** and demand, as well as climate uncertainty and other factors are intertwined, bringing uncertainty to the power supply and demand situation. Taking into account the growth of electricity consumption demand and the commissioning of power sources, it is expected that the national power supply and demand situation will be tightly balanced in 2024. During the peak summer and peak winter, under the premise of fully considering the mutual assistance of inter-provincial and inter-regional power, some provincial-level power grids in North China, East China, Central China, Southwest, South China and other regions are tight, and some time periods need to implement demand-side response and other measures.
III. Relevant Recommendations
In 2024, China's macro economy and electricity consumption will maintain steady growth, and the pressure on power supply will rise. In order to do a good job in ensuring power supply this spring and the follow-up, make every effort to ensure the safety and stability of the large power grid, keep the bottom line of people's livelihood and electricity, and promote high-quality economic and social development, the following suggestions are put forward in combination with the power supply and demand situation and the development trend of the industry:
(1) Do a solid job in power safety
The first is to do a good job in the construction of primary energy tracking and monitoring, load early warning and disaster emergency response mechanism. Strengthen the tracking and monitoring of incoming water, wind and light to improve the accuracy of forecasting; strengthen the monitoring of coal, oil and gas and other energy supply, consumption and storage; Carry out electricity load** and early warning on a rolling basis. Establish and improve the power meteorological disaster monitoring system, improve the deployment of micrometeorology, icing and other monitoring devices, and strengthen the research and early warning of the impact of extreme weather on the power grid. We will further strengthen the emergency mechanism for people's livelihood and improve the ability to respond to disasters. Intensify the allocation of emergency equipment in key areas to ensure the safe operation of the system and improve the power supply capacity for people's livelihood under extreme conditions.
The second is to do a good job in the planning and construction of the source network. Analyze the reasonable proportion of grid source investment in different regions of power transmission and receiving, and promote the construction of grid power supply as a whole, so as to avoid large-scale energy abandonment caused by uncoordinated grid source construction. Strengthen the weak links of the power grid to resist natural disasters and improve the disaster prevention ability of power grid equipment. Combined with the construction of new energy vehicle charging piles, we will carry out the expansion, transformation and upgrading of the urban distribution network, and vigorously promote the construction and transformation of intelligent and orderly charging facilities. Accelerate the consolidation and upgrading of rural power grids and support the development of renewable energy in rural areas.
The third is to improve the power supply capacity. We will continue to implement the policy of ensuring coal supply, increase the release of advanced coal production capacity, and consolidate the foundation of power supply; Maintain the stability of the coal import policy, and give coal-using enterprises stable and long-term policy expectations; Guide thermal coal** to stabilize in a reasonable range. Promote the planned power supply to be put into operation on time, and at the same time do a good job in grid-connected services, ensure that the conventional power supply should be combined, strengthen the operation and maintenance of the unit, strictly manage the unplanned outage and output obstruction, and tap the peak potential of the unit.
Fourth, tap the capacity of transmission channels. Strengthen the mutual assistance of inter-provincial and inter-regional power surplus and shortage, optimize the inter-provincial power allocation mechanism, and do a good job in the connection of medium and long-term, spot and emergency dispatch. Make full use of inter-provincial and inter-regional transmission channels to achieve complementary resources, mutual assistance in time and space, and mutual benefit in the market. Give full play to the regulation ability of the supporting power supply, and allow the surplus capacity of the supporting power supply to be market-oriented in a wider range.
Fifth, broaden the coverage of demand-side response. In accordance with the principle of "who bears and who benefits", we will broaden funding channels, optimize and adjust relevant policies and measures such as market sharing costs and operating costs, and form a reasonable market-oriented compensation mechanism for demand response. Further improve the electricity price system, refine the peak and valley electricity price periods, increase the time-of-use electricity price on a smaller time scale, and guide and stimulate the enthusiasm of users to use electricity off-peak. Appropriately lower the entry threshold for load aggregators.
(2) Accelerate the establishment and improvement of a market-oriented electricity price system
The first is to implement the "two-part system" electricity price policy for coal-fired power. It is suggested that all provinces should introduce detailed rules for the implementation of coal-fired power capacity and electricity prices as soon as possible, stabilize the fixed cost expectations of coal-fired power enterprises, and promote the necessary investment and transformation of coal-fired power units. Strengthen the supervision of the implementation of coal-fired electricity price policies in various localities, promptly correct special transactions for the purpose of price reduction, and avoid unreasonable interference。 Establish and improve the inter-provincial and inter-regional capacity electricity price sharing mechanism, promote the signing and performance of inter-provincial and inter-regional medium and long-term transactions, and ensure the basic power market.

Increase the opportunity for new energy power generation to adjust contracts, shorten the transaction cycle, and increase the frequency of transactions. Allow the free transfer of market contracts between different power supply varieties to increase the liquidity of market contracts. The new energy priority power generation plan should be converted into a first-class authorized contract mechanism to ensure the reasonable income of new energy enterprises. In light of the actual situation, all localities will carry out the adjustment of the peak and valley electricity prices of users and tap the demand for electricity at noon.
The third is to accelerate the construction of a green power market. Accelerate the introduction of green certificate trading methods and implementation rules, and enrich the application scenarios of green certificates. Gradually incorporate renewable energy in the form of distributed power generation and biomass power generation into the green power system, and further expand the scale of green power. Accelerate the cultivation of the green electricity consumption market, reflect the green environmental value of new energy, and improve the economy of new energy participation in the market。 We will improve the trading mechanism for green certificates, smooth the channels for purchasing green electricity and green certificates, and implement the responsibility of the whole society to jointly promote energy transition.
