Design of China’s Electricity Market Evaluation Indicators Based on SCP Model

Abstract

Abstract The establishment of China’s electricity market has been conducted since 2015. In order to inform the condition of electricity market operation through evaluation index, this paper proposes an evaluation index system based on structure-conduct-performance (SCP) model, containing three principal aspects: market structure, participant behavior and market benefit. Meanwhile, considering the specific situations in China such as the differences among provinces and the immature rules in the initial stage of market construction, some of the market evaluation indexes should be specially designed in order to adapt to China’s national conditions.
