Electronic Regulatory Commission to clarify the cost of transmission and distribution of the sword refers to more than 300 billion-yuan fuzzy zone

Wang Shifeng yesterday, the National Electricity Regulatory Commission issued the "Power transmission and distribution cost supervision method (trial)" of the draft, the regulation extended to the grid cost of the fuzzy zone. It is clear from the draft that the power regulatory agencies supervise the cost accounting behavior of power grid enterprises, and require the power grid enterprises to establish cost accounting system, set up cost accounting objects, costing items and accounts, and accurately measure, collect and distribute the cost data of transmission and distribution,　　Report and explain the cost of transmission and distribution to the power regulatory agency on a regular basis. All along, the power regulatory departments in the opening of the cost of transmission and distribution of the "secret box" in the process is quite difficult.　　The above "correct setting" and "accurate measurement" requirements show the determination to strengthen regulation.　　To eliminate information asymmetry according to the statistics of the Electricity Regulatory Commission, China's major power grid enterprises in 2009 total transmission and distribution costs of 347.953 billion yuan, of which the State grid company 268.114 billion yuan, the southern grid company 79.839 billion yuan.　　In the face of such a huge cost data, the National Electricity Regulatory Commission related people in the "First financial daily" reporter interviewed, said that information asymmetry is the government's power transmission and distribution cost supervision of the biggest problem encountered. The so-called cost of transmission and distribution refers to the cost incurred by the power grid operators for conveying and supplying electric energy in the transmission and distribution links.　　According to the current cost accounting method of transmission and distribution, the cost of transmission and distribution is collected by the power grid enterprises and submitted to the Power Supervision Department.　　However, at present the cost accounting report is only a simple one-level subject, it is difficult for regulators to clarify what is the real cost of transmission and distribution. These people say to reporters, the cost of transmission and distribution should include the operating cost of the power grid company in the transmission and distribution, and the capital cost of financing the transmission and distribution, but in practice, some grid enterprises only take out the cost of the internal power generation enterprises, the non-electric enterprises and the separated auxiliary enterprises.　　However, the cost of planning, experiment, overhaul, training center and so on for power dispatching and distribution service is put into the transmission and distribution cost without strict cost apportionment, which makes the transmission and distribution costs reported by the power grid enterprises overvalued.　　Another major problem affecting the cost of transmission and distribution is that the unreasonable related transaction in the electric power industry will cause the cost of transmission and distribution is not real, and the unreasonable pricing in the aspects of design, construction and material purchase will make the construction cost, total assets, depreciation expense, maintenance cost and financial cost increase.　　The electricity regulatory report of 2009 issued by the Commission revealed that in 2009, the total number of commercial bribery cases in the power industry 67, the amount involved in the case of 52.0518 million yuan, from the investigation of the situation, power construction and material procurement is a commercial bribery cases prone, multiple areas, accounting for 86.5% of the total case.　　The significant changes in the data must reasonably explain the frequency of commercial bribery cases, reflecting the urgency of further figuring out the actual situation of transmission and distribution costs. In addition, China's power grid industry in recent years to enter the high tide of investment and financing, from UHV to smart grid, investment in trillions of dollars, during the period of transmission and distribution costs of large changes in the need for electricityThe regulatory authorities are doubly aware.　　2009, China's major power grid enterprises in the cost of transmission and distribution, the most significant cost change is depreciation, the year-on-year increase of 18.34%, in the transmission and distribution costs of the proportion reached 46%, compared with 2008 5.54%.　　According to the request of the draft, the power grid enterprises should explain and elaborate the major changes of the cost data of transmission and distribution. China's current Internet prices and sales prices are under the control of the government, transmission and distribution price is the power grid enterprises in accordance with the purchase and sale of electricity price difference approved, with the power grid enterprise transmission and distribution costs did not establish a direct link between the power grid enterprises lack of power to declare to the regulatory authorities.　　However, according to the thinking of the transmission and distribution reform which China has been advancing, the future transmission and distribution price is based on the power transmission and distribution cost of the grid enterprise, thus achieving the price linkage mechanism, thoroughly breaking through the current situation of "market coal and government electricity".　　But if there is no clear cost of transmission and distribution as a consideration, the direct purchase of electricity, distribution and separation of a series of reforms will encounter obstacles. The IPCC has been working to strengthen the regulation of the cost of transmission and distribution, but these people told reporters that the cost supervision of this piece has been done for so many years, the degree of progress is still difficult.
