With the deepening of the power system reform since 2015, the construction of the electricity retail market continues to accelerate, the activity and competition of the electricity retail market continues to increase. 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. This article proposes a new set of construction effectiveness evaluation model for electricity retail market. It establishes the key factors of power retail market construction effectiveness from the seven aspects of market mechanism, market openness, market concentration, market quality, market performance, electricity retail side service content diversity and market satisfaction, etc. The corresponding evaluation index system is formed to measure the effectiveness of the electricity retail market construction, which helps to guide the discovery of weak links in retail market construction of power system and improve them in a timely manner. The validity of the proposed model is proved by case study.
