The world’s energy system is undergoing an evolution from high-carbon to low-carbon. The Chinese government has also proposed the carbon neutral plan. Foreign practical experience shows that there is an interaction between the carbon market and the electricity market, therefore, understanding the relationship between the two markets is essential to ensure the efficient operation of both markets. In the context of China's power market reform, this paper studies the impact of introducing carbon prices into the wholesale market, and conducts a case study based on the data of a certain area in GD province. The results show that after the carbon price is transmitted to the electricity price, the more low-carbon and environmentally friendly power generation technologies will gain greater advantages in the electricity market, which is conducive to the clean energy transformation of the power system. Finally, this paper puts forward feasible suggestions for the reform of the electricity market under China’s carbon emission reduction target.
