Editor's note: This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China.
On Jan 16, 1997, China State Power Corp was established in Beijing, a move regarded as an important step in the separation of the functions of government and business. Before, the electric power sector had been controlled by the Ministry of Electric Power, which was phased out a year after CSPC was established.
An item from China Daily on Dec 18, 1999, showed the opening of the South China Power Grid under CSPC.
