Abstract
China’s electricity market is in the environment for a round of new electric power reform, energy planning and transformation and the carbon market construction. The current market players are in urgent need of implementing their own energy saving and emission reduction actions. Relatively extensive and systematic researches on the assessment of the energy saving and emission reduction effects for the power plants, power grid companies, and technical equipment have been carried out at home and abroad. However, there are still vacancies in the researches on those for electricity retailers emerged on the sales side. Based on the carding and analysis of related policies and guidance, in this paper, relevant indicators are considered to build the evaluation indicator system of the energy saving and emission reduction effects for electricity retailers. The combination weights are gained by means of analytic hierarchy process and entropy weight method. Then, after the combined empowerment of indicators, the multi-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation of energy saving and emission reduction effects for electricity retailers is conducted. Finally, choosing 10 electricity retailers (numbered from A to J) as evaluation objects, this model is used for obtaining the evaluation results and ranking of energy saving and emission reduction effects of electricity retailers, which provides reasonable ideas for the construction of evaluation indicator system and effective comprehensive evaluation methods of energy saving and emission reduction effects for market players in the electricity sales side. The results of example analysis show that, from a single dimension, the best electricity retailers in market transactions, technical means, integrated energy services, management system, and social responsibilities are followed by B, J, D, G, C, or I. However, from a global perspective, the sorted evaluation results are D, J, I, A, H, G, E, B, F, and C, which reflects the overall energy saving and emission reduction effects of electricity retailers through the two-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation.
Highlights
IntroductionTo analyze important documents in three aspects of the electric power reform, energy planning transformation, and carbon market construction issued by government departments
As one of the most important component in the energy industry, the electric power industry is bound to be involved in the energy saving and emission reduction actions, which aims at developing the way of low-carbon electricity vigorously to have the environmental pollution cut down and improve the energy efficiency utilization
According to the distribution results of weights, we see that the importance ranking results of the two-level indicators to the energy saving and emission reduction effects of electricity retailers are followed by integrated energy services, technical means, market transactions, social responsibilities, and management system
Summary
To analyze important documents in three aspects of the electric power reform, energy planning transformation, and carbon market construction issued by government departments. The attention to these policy documents should be placed on the following two points. In the research on the energy saving and emission reduction effects for current electricity retailers in China, it is possible to make a reasonable assessment by combining the policy documents closely and understanding the market development orientation, which helps to provide guidance for electricity retailers to improve the effects to enhance the competitiveness and achieve long-term development by taking timely actions
