After more than six years of operation of the competitive electricity generation market, 87 plants were involved, with a total capacity of 22,946 MW. Competitive power generation market is becoming more and more active.
The competitive electricity generation market has contributed to increased transparency
The competitive electricity generation market has contributed to increasing transparency and fairness in scheduling, mobilizing the output of power plants, contributing to the optimization of the whole system, motivating and trusting the Investors.
Nguyen Van Thanh, Deputy General Director of Hai Phong Thermal Power Joint Stock Company, said that since joining the competitive power generation market, the company has been able to meet its production plan Demand to mobilize electricity output. The operation mode of the units is built more accurately, so that the specific time of operation of each unit in accordance with the cycle, dry season or rainy season.
Hai Phong Thermal Power Plant - one of the units participating effectively in the competitive electricity generation market
With this viewpoint, Phung Van Sinh, Deputy General Director of Power Generating Corporation 1, said that the competitive power generation market officially operated to help businesses be more active in the calculation and planning. "In the dry season, the company always sets requirements, high power generation, bring great effect, and actively repair plans. units. In the rainy season, in addition to improving production efficiency, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable schedule for the units, ensuring the dry season, the units operating most effectively, "Thanh shared.
However, for thermal power plants, due to variable cost offers, the market price during the day always fluctuates with each trading cycle, leading to a decrease in volume of output many times a day, affecting longevity of equipment and increased risk of incidents.
For hydropower plants, having to bid simultaneously with meeting the requirements of water discharge in the flood season as well as the demand for water in the dry season is difficult, affecting revenue.
These issues are being dealt with by management agencies, EVN and other units to ensure the security of the power system as well as the efficiency and feasibility of the participating units in the electricity market.
Although the number of power plants as well as the direct electricity generation capacity is increasing, from 31 to 87, Nguyen Anh Tuan, director of the Electricity Regulatory Authority, said. accounting for only 49% of the total installed capacity. The Department will continue to study and put EVN's multi-purpose hydroelectric power plants into the electricity market. Follow the pilot with renewable energy plants such as wind power, solar power ...
With the success and experience gained in the 6 years of development of the competitive power generation market, the related units are urgently preparing to launch the competitive wholesale electricity market in 2019.
