Abstract

World widely speaking, the power industry is an important area of carbon emission and carbon reduction. It is also one of the main carbon trading market. Carbon-constrained electricity market will profoundly alter the original model of electricity production and electricity trading. Consequently, the behaviors in all the main electricity market will have a qualitative change. This paper analyzes the trading rules of Shanghai carbon trading market, including the ways of carbon trade, quota allocation and power industries baseline. Furthermore, in-depth study of the impact of carbon constraints on electricity generation in Shanghai grid is carried out. Taking the Shanghai grid as an example, the study focus on the generation space, generation cost and business decisions for generation enterprises under the constraints of low carbon.
