The issue of the Restructuring of the State Power Corporation of China by the State Council on October 2002 marked the beginning of the national electric power supply reform. After five years 'reform, generation enterprises and grid enterprises have bee restructured, five generation companies, two grid companies, and Inner Mongolia Electric Power Corporation have been formed and market order and governmental administrative system of the electric power market have been established.After the separation of the power enterprises and grid enterprise, grid enterprises began to provide general power supplies for the society, and thus terminated its administrative functions. Power supply enterprises and the customers have their relationship changed from supply and demand type to a contracted one, forming a inter-disciplinary and inter-supportive supply and demand relationship based on the industry standard and national standard.New supply and demand relationship has make it necessary to improve the improper existing laws and orders concerning the electric power supply and the administrative and marketing mode of the power enterprises.With the reform of the national electric power system, great changes have taken places in terms of the supply and demand relationship and the competition system of Gansu Electric Power Corporation. Competition in the filed of terminal energy consumption is increasingly fierce as the natural gas has been widely used in the industrial production and domestic areas and other natural energies have been also intensively developed and utilized. Many enterprises in Gansu Province have built their own power plant, so the market share of the power supply enterprises is declining, which promote them to enhance their target market. This thesis, based on the reality of the power system reform, analyzes the reason of the emergence of the new supply and demand relationship and the competition system, the existing problems in the reform and the corresponding solutions.
