自1980年代初以来,电力部门的放松管制和权力下放在全世界蓬勃发展。中国也从80年代中期开始调整电力工业。这场改革与其他国家的重组实践有许多共同之处,也有一些独特之处。从某种程度上说,高度集中的计划经济遗留下来的政府管理部门的政商双重角色和发电的煤炭密集性这两个特点,决定了中国电力行业发展的许多方面。本文件旨在全面介绍这一进程,并在一定程度上侧重于最近的事态发展。通过对中国电力行业五个发展阶段的管理体制、价格和投资机制、相关立法和政策设置的研究,我们发现了一些与其他国家电力市场改革相似的特征,最重要的是,这些特征体现了中国电力行业重组实践的独特性。本文件最后讨论和总结了一些一般性特点和仍然存在的挑战。
Deregulation and decentralization in the electricity sector have thrived worldwide since the early 1980s. China also started restructuring its electricity industry since the mid-1980s. The reform shares many common features with restructuring practices in other countries and exhibits some unique characteristics as well. To some extent, two features, namely governmental administrative departments’ dual role of government and business inherited from a highly centralized planned economy, and the coal-intensive nature of power generation, has determined many aspects of the evolution of China's electric power sector. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive account of the process with some emphasis on recent developments. We also identify some of the features that are similar to electricity market reforms in other countries and, most importantly, those that characterize the uniqueness of the restructuring practices in China's electricity industry through investigating the administrative framework, price and investment mechanisms, and associated legislation and policy settings at each of the five stages in the evolution of the electric utility sector. The paper concludes with a discussion and summary of some generic characteristics and remaining challenges.
