[Du Zhongming of the National Energy Administration: Accelerate the Construction of a Nationally Unified Power Market System and Fully Leverage the Flexible Regulation Role of the Demand Side] Du Zhongming, Director of the Electricity Department at the National Energy Administration, stated that in response to the unstable output characteristics of new energy, efforts will be accelerated to promote the construction of system-friendly new energy power stations. By improving the prediction accuracy of wind and solar power generation, power stations and the power grid can operate with greater certainty. Through the integrated multi-energy complementary development model and joint regulation and operation of wind, solar, hydro, and thermal power, the autonomous regulation and active support capabilities of wind and PV power generation will be enhanced. The construction of a nationally unified power market system will be expedited, and the power market mechanism adapted to the characteristics of new energy generation will be refined to support high-proportion new energy participation in the market and expand the scale of new energy market transactions. Inter-provincial power trading will be optimized to enhance regional resource sharing and mutual support capabilities, promoting the optimal allocation of new energy across broader areas. The flexible regulation role of the demand side will be fully leveraged, steadily expanding the aggregation scale of virtual power plants and scal
