The current "Electricity Law" imposes obligations on the administrative authority and the power industry body the power administrations. It is a product of the era of mandatory planning system. In the past ten years, the rapid development of China’s power industry. Especially after the 2002 electricity restructuring, China’s power market trading pattern initially been practice, modern electricity regulatory system initially established, power Technology standards improve, the power generation capacity, the grid size, the whole society electricity volume ranks first in the world. However, on the other hand, China’s market lags behind the construction of electric power, flawed mechanism of competition, Science price formation system has not been established, power planning and management not in place, It caused a series of deep-seated contradictions and enormous institutional pressure on the environment and other market failures.
