Abstract: The institutionalization of the reform of the energy regulatory system is the key to safeguarding and consolidating the fruits of the reform. However, due to the promotion of China's energy regulatory system reform under the policy, and the lack of overall planning, the procedural mechanism is not perfect, leading to unclear definition of functions of administration and supervision, homogeneousness in supervision power allocation, and decentralization of energy regulatory bodies. These problems in the reform of the energy regulatory system are caused by the lack of organizational law. Therefore, the reform of energy regulatory system must be carried out under the principles of legal organization, separation of administration and supervision, and cooperative supervision. Thus we may establish a unified, authoritative and efficient energy regulatory body. Specifically, with the organizational law as the basis, the reform of the energy regulatory system should aim at optimizing government functions,clarify the functions of energy regulatory agencies,and differentiate the allocation of energy supervision power based on the division of powers through the organizational law.

Key words: energy regulation, institutional reform, organization law, power allocation, organization setup
