Abstract

The clean energy transition is crucial for achieving China's double-carbon goal. With the promulgation of a series of policies, analyzing the energy policies in this policy framework is essential. This paper identifies 32 current effective and representative energy policies through collection and screening. After establishing a Policy Modeling Consistency (PMC) index, this paper designs the corresponding text-mining dictionary through the TF-IDF algorithm and uses regular expressions to retrieve, filter, and match policy texts. The results show that the average PMC score of all policies selected in this paper is 5.23, and the overall PMC surface is relatively smooth. The scores of primary variables are relatively balanced. For the future, it is essential to focus on optimizing utility level (P₃), policy type (P₅), policy receptors (P₈), and policy areas (P₉) in energy policy formulation. Most importantly, the social network density of energy policy issuers is low now; thus, diversity and close cooperation need to be strengthened.

基于政策模型一致性指数的中国双碳能源政策评价

清洁能源转型对于实现中国的双碳目标至关重要。随着一系列政策的颁布，在此政策框架下分析能源政策至关重要。本文通过收集和筛选，确定了 32 项现行有效且具有代表性的能源政策。在建立政策模型一致性（PMC）指数后，本文通过 TF-IDF 算法设计了相应的文本挖掘字典，并使用正则表达式对政策文本进行检索、过滤和匹配。结果表明，本文选取的所有政策的平均 PMC 得分为 5.23，整体 PMC 面较为平滑。主要变量的得分相对均衡。未来，在能源政策制定过程中，有必要重点优化效用水平（P3）、政策类型（P5）、政策受体（P8）和政策领域（P9）。最重要的是，目前能源政策发布者的社会网络密度较低，因此需要加强多样性和密切合作。

期刊介绍： Utilities Policy is deliberately international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral. Articles address utility trends and issues in both developed and developing economies. Authors and reviewers come from various disciplines, including economics, political science, sociology, law, finance, accounting, management, and engineering. Areas of focus include the utility and network industries providing essential electricity, natural gas, water and wastewater, solid waste, communications, broadband, postal, and public transportation services. Utilities Policy invites submissions that apply various quantitative and qualitative methods. Contributions are welcome from both established and emerging scholars as well as accomplished practitioners. Interdisciplinary, comparative, and applied works are encouraged. Submissions to the journal should have a clear focus on governance, performance, and/or analysis of public utilities with an aim toward informing the policymaking process and providing recommendations as appropriate. Relevant topics and issues include but are not limited to industry structures and ownership, market design and dynamics, economic development, resource planning, system modeling, accounting and finance, infrastructure investment, supply and demand efficiency, strategic management and productivity, network operations and integration, supply chains, adaptation and flexibility, service-quality standards, benchmarking and metrics, benefit-cost analysis, behavior and incentives, pricing and demand response, economic and environmental regulation, regulatory performance and impact, restructuring and deregulation, and policy institutions.
