Two departments: Improve the electricity market trading and pricing mechanism, encourage both supply and demand sides to sign flexible pricing mechanisms in medium- and long-term contracts that adjust with market supply and demand and changes in generation costs

It mentioned the improvement of the electricity market trading and pricing mechanism. After the improvement of the coal power capacity price mechanism, localities can appropriately adjust the lower limit of the medium- and long-term market trading price for coal power within the province based on the supply and demand of the electricity market and the variable costs of all units participating in the market, while ensuring the balance of electricity supply and demand and appropriately relaxing the requirements for the signing ratio of medium- and long-term contracts for coal power
