Research on optimization of coal and power price transmission mechanism and synergistic development of energy chain

LIU Wei

Abstract：Optimization of coal and electricity price transmission mechanism is a key measure to crack the long-existing contradiction of"coal and electricity top cow"in China,and to ensure energy security and smooth operation of the economy.Based on the theory of energy price transmission,combined with the status quo of China's coal and electricity market,we systematically analyze the implementation effect of the current coal and electricity price linkage policy and system bottlenecks,and put forward the optimization path of market-oriented reform and policy regulation and control synergistically.At present,the coal and electricity price transmission mechanism is still facing problems such as insufficient performance rate of medium-and long-term contracts,contradictions between spot and medium-and long-term prices,and significant regional implementation differences,which leads to coal price fluctuations that are difficult to be effectively transmitted to the electricity market,and exacerbates cyclical contradictions such as losses of power generation enterprises or frustration of the production incentives of coal enterprises.We put forward policy recommendations in terms of laws and regulations,regulatory system and supporting measures to provide theoretical support and practical reference for the construction of a more flexible and efficient coal and electricity price transmission mechanism,and help realize the synergistic promotion of the goals of energy security,economic stability and"dual-carbon".
