Long-sleeved dancing of American power market
America has the world's largest power industry and comparatively perfect the supervision system of power market, the price forming mechanism and more mature. For saving energy, the United States federal, state, regulators and electric power company launched ladder, electricity price discount and other measures, and vigorously develop clean energy, some of which approach is worth our using for reference.
Features: power generation, transmission of diversification
American annual generation, accounting for about 4 trillion kilowatt-hours 20% of the world's total capacity. America has the world's most developed grids, altogether has 32 million kilometers high-voltage transmission. However, American no nationwide electricity market, but only 8 to 10 of regional electric power market, America has no national power grid, only a series of regional network. Due to the power grid in parts of the United States and Canada and Mexico grid connected, some regional power markets are transnational electric power market.
The electric power market a most remarkable characteristic is more decentralized power suppliers. American power suppliers, several hundred largest power suppliers control the installed capacity and less than 4% of the total installed capacity, the top 20 largest power generation company owned by the installed capacity only accounted for the national total of around 45%.
Generating ownership is the American power market scattered big advantage. This means that, compared with those in other countries, the United States of market power generation market is much smaller, help to increase the electric power market competitiveness. Market power refers to the power suppliers use your own resources and to raise the competition advantages to make electricity price level and the prices keep period of time to obtain the ability of economic benefits. Power providers typically use of market forces force consumers pay higher price than competitive market.
The electric power market another remarkable characteristic is dispersed ownership power grids. In other countries, power grids are usually limited few companies control, but in the United States, more than 500 grid companies quantity. U.S. grid about two-thirds for public power company all, other by numerous federal government agencies (such as Tennessee following), municipal power companies and rural power cooperatives have, and some for profit-making grid management company or regional transmission organizations all. But transmission ownership overly dispersed also increased power grid planning, operation, investment and cost allocation of difficulty.
The electric power market has diversified market main body, in power generation, transmission, distribution and sale electric fields exist different types of competitors. America's power structure is also diversified, coal and natural gas power generation, nuclear power, water and electricity and other renewable power generation. Among them, the coal installed capacity accounted for about American power with a total installed capacity of 49%. The us department of energy data shows, American consumers at present are able to enjoy low price, the reason is that coal with low cost and the United States has abundant coal resources, in the foreseeable future, coal, will still be the electric power struts sources. However, the current also during develop renewable power generation.
