Guiding opinions on the National Energy Administration to further strengthen the standardized operation of the Electric Power Market Management Committee

Recently, the National Energy Administration issued guiding opinions on further strengthening the standardized operation of the Power Market Management Committee. The establishment of the power market management committee is an important guarantee for power trading institutions to achieve independent and standardized operation. The Power Market Management Committee is an autonomous deliberation and coordination mechanism independent of power trading institutions, performs the responsibilities of establishing and improving market members' behavioral self-discipline, and jointly builds the "three lines of defense" for power market operation with the market monitoring of operating institutions and professional supervision of regulatory agencies. As the pace of power market construction accelerates, the main categories, market rules and trading products are showing a diversified trend. Further strengthening the standardized operation of the Power Market Management Committee will help promote the healthy and orderly development of the power market and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of market members.
