Research on the Rule of Law Construction of the Operating Mechanism of China’s Energy Market Access System Under the “Dual Carbon” Goal

Abstract

The energy market access system refers to the conditions that energy enterprises need to meet when entering the market. Under the “dual carbon” goals, China’s energy is gradually transitioning towards low-carbonization, and the promulgation of the Energy Law provides a basic guiding path for energy market access. However, at present, China’s energy market access system is confronted with problems such as insufficient legal support, unclear division of responsibilities, and unsmooth incentive mechanisms. To adapt to the requirements of the “dual carbon” goals, it is necessary to start from the perspective of the rule of law and build a modern energy market system that is unified, open, and orderly in competition. This requires us to clarify the guiding ideology and basic principles of the energy market access system, including promoting the low-carbon transformation and sustainable development of energy, ensuring the fairness and transparency of the market, and taking into account multiple dimensions such as energy security, energy efficiency, clean and low-carbon, and energy justice. By improving the market access process, strengthening market supervision, and standardizing market exit procedures, we can stimulate market vitality, promote technological innovation and industrial upgrading, and establish a more complete and efficient operation mechanism for the energy market access system, providing a solid legal guarantee for achieving the “dual carbon” goals, ensuring national energy security, and promoting the sustainable development of the economy and society.
