Abstract—With the further advance of energy conservation and emissions reduction, the energy performance contracting (EPC) has been widely used and promoted, as it is an effective energy saving way under the market mechanism. While the utility industry is the basic industry and main energy sector of national economy, the low carbon development is imperative. Therefore, in order to achieve the propose of promoting EPC application in electric power industry and accelerate the development of electric power industry’s technology independent process, we proposed two suggestions that build the EPC e-commerce system of the power industry and blend EPC in the enterprises energy management system through the link of e-commerce, by analyzing the advantages and application obstacles of the EPC.
