Annex 1
Model operating rules for new types of storage capacity pilot (pilot)
In accordance with the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China and the Vision 2035 Programme for the Implementation of the “1455” New types of storage energy development, the first is to promote the diversification, industrialization and high-quality market development of new types of storage energy.
The second rule applies to the pilot demonstration of new energy storage technologies and applications organized by the National Energy Agency. The provincial energy authorities have advanced the pilot demonstration of new storage capacities in the region, which could be organized in the light of these rules, taking into account local conditions.
New types of energy storage projects referred to in this third rule are those in which, in addition to pumping capacity, the primary form of output of electricity and the provision of external services.
The fourth model project declaration, selection and follow-up evaluation should adhere to the principles of government direction, corporate voluntarism, diversified development, priority breakthroughs, demonstration-led, scale-based development, scientific evaluation and results-oriented evaluation.
The subject of the fifth model project declaration is in principle the owner of the project. Where a joint declaration is required, the need and the specific division of labour should be stated. The entities participating in the declaration shall be enterprises registered in the territory of the People ‘ s Republic of China that have an independent legal personality and have no adverse credit records and have greater economic power, technological research and development and the ability to integrate innovation.
Article 6 declaration projects should be characterized by technological sophistication, innovative business models, safety reliability, representation of applications, and demonstration drive.
The Article 7 model project workflow consists mainly of six links: publication of notifications, organizational declarations, expert review, review of decision-making, public announcements, summary promotion.
(i) Publication of notices
The National Energy Agency publishes circulars on the official website, initiates the declaration process and specifies specific requirements for demonstration project declarations.
(ii) Organizational declarations
Provincial energy authorities should organize model project declarations, preliminary clearances, recommendations, etc., taking into account the actual situation in the region, and issue written recommendations. A written letter of support from the central enterprise group shall be attached to a declaration made by the respective provincial energy authority.
The Central Enterprise Group could recommend demonstration projects directly to the National Energy Agency.
(iii) Expert review
The National Energy Agency has commissioned a pilot project evaluation process from a third-party agency. The information is reviewed at first instance and by expert review, resulting in a written evaluation and submitted to the National Energy Agency. Organization of corporate representation or field visits, as required.
Model project review experts require high-level and above-grade titles and have not less than four years of technical work in related areas. The evaluation experts will cover the professional orientation of the project under review, with no fewer than seven experts. The evaluation expert shall not have an economic interest in the unit (including the joint unit) that will declare the project under review.
(iv) Consideration of decision-making
On the basis of a review by a third-party body, the National Energy Agency examines the establishment of a shortlist of demonstration projects, taking into account relevant documentation requirements such as industry planning and industrial policy.
(v) Publicity
The National Energy Agency publishes a short list of model projects on the official website, which is published for a period of not less than seven days. Upon completion of the announcement, the National Energy Agency publishes a list of model projects in the form of an announcement.
(vi) Summary outreach
During and after the demonstration period, the National Energy Agency commissioned a third-party evaluation of the impact of the demonstration applications to scale up lessons learned and outreach on advanced and promising technology and business models in demonstration projects, standard norms and policy initiatives that have produced better results at the local level.
The model duration of Article 8 is in principle two years. Model projects are to be operational within one year of the date of the announcement. In exceptional cases, the demonstration period and the date of commissioning may be extended by no more than one year with the agreement of the National Energy Agency.
The National Energy Authority for Article 9 has integrated demonstration projects into the National New Energy Large Data Platform, conducted monitoring of the operation of demonstration project construction and conducted a summary of the evaluation of project implementation. Provincial energy authorities need to strengthen demonstration project management, coordinate solutions to project problems, improve new systems of energy management and support policies.
The tenth declaration unit is required to comply with the new system of project management for energy storage, obtain procedures for project construction, network operation, etc., in accordance with the procedure, and to advance the demonstration project construction, enhance system operation maintenance and report promptly to the National Energy Agency on the operation and standardization of project construction.
Article 11 of the National Energy Agency (NEA) has sent agencies to strengthen the monitoring of the implementation of demonstration projects in the context of integrated monitoring of work arrangements, to coordinate with local energy authorities to address problems encountered in the implementation of demonstration projects and to report the results to the NEA.
Article 12 disallows model projects where the reported information is false, is not built in accordance with the model, there is a major security liability incident or other violation of the model requirements.
Article 13 of the National Energy Agency coordinated the resolution of major problems faced by demonstration projects, including through the integration of demonstration projects into national databases of relevant major engineering projects. Support for major technical equipment that meets the first set of requirements, based on the relevant criteria resulting from the demonstration project, is assessed in accordance with the procedure, priority is given to the industry standard revision plan, the first list of major technical equipment in the energy sector, priority is given to the selection of incentives for science, technology, innovation, standards, etc., and support policies.
The energy authorities of the Article XIV regions, together with interested parties, have stepped up their policy research and support for demonstration projects in terms of project costing, movement control, safety management, etc., and have encouraged support for demonstration projects through policies such as specific funding. Local energy authorities need to combine national and regional pilot demonstration of new storage capacities and play a leading role in the development of new ones.
Article 15, this rule, is interpreted by the National Energy Agency.
This rule in article 16 applies from the date of its publication.
