The General Office of the National Development and Reform Commission and four other departments have issued a notice on promoting the scientific planning and construction of high-power charging facilities. It proposes that power grid companies should actively conduct research on the impact of high-power charging loads on regional distribution systems, and assess the access capacity of the grid to high-power charging facilities in a layered and graded manner. It promotes the integration and coordination of the layout planning of high-power charging facilities and distribution network planning, encourages forward-looking grid construction and timely upgrades and renovations. It encourages the development of intelligent and orderly high-power charging stations, establishes efficient interaction mechanisms between high-power charging stations and distribution networks, builds photovoltaic and energy storage facilities according to local conditions, explores optimized methods for determining power access capacity for intelligent and orderly high-power charging stations, reasonably utilizes the low-capacity reserves of distribution facilities, and enhances the access capacity of distribution networks to high-power charging stations. It supports charging operators to participate in electricity market transactions and demand response through new load management systems, and promotes the high-level integration of clean energy in electric vehicles through price signals.
