记者4日从中国国家电监会获悉，2013年中国将致力加强发电权交易监管，提高节能环保高效机组占比。同时，加强差别化电价执行监管，发挥电价的杠杆作用，促进产业结构调整和优化升级，积极稳妥务实推进电力体制机制改革。

Beijing (CNS) -- The government will continue to push forward reform of China's electrical power sector in 2013, the country's electricity regulator said on Monday.

The State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC) said that it will regulate generation rights trading carefully and increase the ratio of clean energy used to create power capacity.

Several measures will be taken to close the gap between the supply and demand of electricity, the commission added.

It also said that trial of direct contracts between power plants and large industrial consumers will be expanded, and that it will implement progressive price rates for electricity consumption.
