由于电力行业的特殊性和对国民经济的重要性,20世纪80年代以来,世界各国开始对电力行业进行规制活动。规制经济学理论为电力行业的经济性规制和社会性规制提供了理论依据。我国的电力行业改革同样可以以规制经济学理论为指导,但不能忽视我国电力行业的特殊性质,即行政性垄断。 Due to the particularity of the power industry and its importance to the national economy, all countries in the world have begun to regulate the power industry since the 1980s. Regulatory economics theory provides the theoretical basis for the economic regulation and social regulation in the power industry. China’s power industry reform can also be guided by the theory of regulatory economics, but can not ignore the special nature of China’s power industry, that is, administrative monopoly.
