The National Energy Administration recently issued a notice on the comprehensive supervision of the electric power sector in 2026 (National Energy Development Supervision [2026] No. 29). The work includes the implementation of energy conservation and carbon reduction tasks, the standardized operation of natural monopoly links, and the construction of the power market. Four aspects of market order, power infrastructure operation and electricity business environment.
Among them, the construction of the electricity market and market order mainly include:
1. The construction of the national unified electricity market. Focus on monitoring the construction of long-term, spot, ancillary services and other markets for electricity since 2025, the compliance of relevant institutional rules, and the timeliness of the revision. Investigate and understand the implementation of the requirements for the construction of a unified national electricity market, the participation of new energy in cross-provincial and cross-regional transactions, and the standardized management of the retail market.
2. Fair competition in the electricity market. Focus on monitoring compliance transactions in the electricity market since 2025, regulating quotations, disclosing relevant information in accordance with the rules, and whether there is any use of market dominance to exercise market power, collusion in quotations, and unfair competition using the advantage of “offering one.
3. Electricity market specification operation. Focus on supervising the implementation of national laws and regulations and relevant policies and trading rules by power grid enterprises and market operators since 2025, independently regulating operation, regulating settlement, organizing various types of transactions, fulfilling market risk prevention and control duties, and disclosing and reporting market information.
In addition, the implementation of the task of energy conservation and carbon reduction mentioned the improvement of renewable energy consumption capacity. Focus on the supervision of new energy delivery and on-site elimination since 2025, the construction of key power grid projects to promote new energy consumption, the implementation of special actions to optimize the adjustment capacity, the operation of renewable energy scheduling, and the reporting of new energy utilization rate monitoring statistics. Investigate and understand the implementation of the weight of renewable energy power consumption, determine the upper limit of the annual development scale according to the new energy utilization target, and the development of new energy integration and integration.
The construction and operation of the new energy base of “Shago Wilderness. Focus on the supervision of the “Shago wild new energy base planning power supply, send out the project construction,” Shago wild “new energy consumption, external transmission channel project and base power supply project collaborative construction, external transmission of new energy power ratio. Investigate and understand the implementation of the “Shago Wilderness” new energy base project planning.
Green Power Direct Link supports the implementation of zero-carbon park construction and the approval of carbon emission replacement sources. Investigate and understand the implementation of the construction of the green power direct connection project during the construction of the zero-carbon park, the power generation of the green power direct connection project and the online purchase of electricity from public power, the actual power generation and consumption of the new “two high” industrial project for carbon emission replacement, the green power direct connection potential of carbon emission replacement source enterprises, the reduction of power generation from coal power units in self-owned power plants, and the reduction of coal consumption.
the notice mentioned on-site supervision and research from early may to mid-June. The National Energy Administration formed an on-site working group to conduct on-site supervision of relevant power companies and power trading institutions in 6 provinces through data review and on-site inspections; conduct research on new formats, new models and related work of energy authorities in the power field. Site work arrangements will be notified separately.
