As the operator of the power market, the power trading institution is a very important link in the power market, and the establishment of two trading centers can create favorable conditions for the free flow and optimal allocation of power commodities and production factors, which is an important part and key step in promoting the construction of competitive power market in China.

The reverse distribution of energy resources and load centers in China determines that energy resources must be optimally allocated on a larger scale.

After the establishment of the two power trading centers, the cross-regional and cross-provincial power trading can be organized through the trading platform, which can give full play to the function of the large market, effectively implement the national energy strategy, and promote the large-scale optimal allocation of power resources. It can actively promote the effective connection of new energy and renewable energy power generation with other power sources and power grids, improve the efficiency of clean energy utilization, and promote energy conservation, emission reduction and low-carbon transformation.

In addition to the establishment of a relatively independent trading center, the current round of electricity reform also has the sale of electricity side liberalization, transmission and distribution price reform, incremental distribution investment business liberalization and other measures. The reform of the power system is a complex system engineering, and various reform measures complement each other and need to be coordinated with each other. Taking the liberalization of the electricity sales side as an example, it is not only necessary to determine the transmission and distribution prices, but also to establish a relatively complete trading platform and trading mechanism to provide fair and efficient services to ensure that users and electricity sales companies participate in market competition in a fair and orderly manner. The establishment of the two trading centers became a breakthrough in the reform of the entire power system and laid the foundation for the smooth implementation of other reform measures.
The establishment of Beijing and Guangzhou trading centers is an important milestone in the new round of power system reform. We have reason to expect that with the further deepening of the reform of the power system, the future power market will be better, and the reform dividend will be further released!
