随着双碳目标的持续推进,中国的能源和电力行业正面临新的发展形势。全球变暖带来的极端天气也给电力系统的安全运行带来巨大挑战。长期以来,中国的电力行业以五年规划为核心,为各种资源的投资(和淘汰)数量和类型提供高层指导。在能源转型和气候变化的双重挑战下,世界上的许多国家和地区都在进一步完善规划框架。本文从美国电力行业规划的实践出发,为中国改进电力规划和完善相关法律的制修订提出了一些建议,特别是完善电力系统在不同时间尺度上的展望与规划流程以及建立公开、透明的利益相关方参与体系。 在中国日益市场化的电力系统中,完善五年规划并辅以对电力行业滚动式、评估性的展望将有助于监测电力系统在不同时间尺度下满足可靠性的需求及脱碳进程,为中长期的电力综合资源规划和输电网络规划奠定基础。 本文是该系列报告之一,其余三篇报告分别为“支持高比例电气化,提高系统灵活性:相关法律政策概述及分析”,“法律支持可再生能源开启新篇章”以及“为电力现货市场的运行和监管建立法律基础以支持新型电力系统”… View Summary +
