As China seeks to advance its electricity reform, it is crucial to shift focus to the user side
Zhao Kebin, former Senior Director of Power Construction, Datang Gansu Power Generation Co., Ltd
To deepen electricity reform, the most urgent task is to increase user participation in the market. The government has set the framework, and grid operators, generators, and power companies are already involved. However, many users remain at a disadvantage when it comes to shaping policy, understanding the market, and participating in trading. It is crucial that users become more proactive and participate more effectively, otherwise competition in the new energy market will simply become a zero-sum game involving only the power generation side.
