In order to better guide the construction and development of China’s electricity retail market, it is necessary to accurately evaluate its construction effectiveness, finding the effectiveness and deficiencies, and making electricity retail market play the decisive role in the allocation of electricity resources.

The validity of the proposed model is proved by case study.
