我国电力工业当前面临着两大主题，一是深化改革，二是加速发展，这两大主题都离不开科技进步。深化改革为科技进步创造了更好的条件；科技进步将为加速电力工业发展提供更强大的动力。我国加入WTO以后，电力工业将面对国际国内两个市场的机遇和挑战，只有紧紧依靠科技进步，不 China’s power industry is currently facing two major themes: First, to deepen reform; second, to accelerate development. Both of these themes are inseparable from technological advances. Deepening reforms has created better conditions for scientific and technological progress; scientific and technological progress will provide more powerful impetus for accelerating the development of the power industry. After China’s accession to the WTO, the power industry will face the opportunities and challenges of both the domestic and international markets. Only relying on technological progress will not be affected.
