Abstract
This chapter starts with showing reforms of energy administration in developing countries and countries with economy in transition. Then, it presents a methodological framework for negotiation simulation. In a transient society from a centrally-planned mode to a competitive market-oriented mode, both centralized planning mechanism and market competitive mechanism coexist, and conflicts are emerging among the economically independent actors. Involving many negotiators and multiple indicators, negotiation issues in energy-environment system in these countries become complicated and time-consuming. Advanced planning methodologies and skilled resource persons in negotiation are badly needed for the negotiators to prepare negotiation proposals. The aim of this chapter is to present a methodological framework to simulate negotiation: Negotiation-coordination in Energy-Environment Planning (NEEP). NEEP consists of a number of steps in negotiation simulation, including designing negotiators’ scenarios, developing optimization module, and analyzing negotiation and coordination deals. NEEP can be applied for either two actor negotiations or three actor negotiations. Key indicators in NEEP include tax policies, electricity tariffs, energy efficiency, energy supply, capital investment, emission control, and carbon trading. Some mathematic functions are illustrated.

The Chinese government implemented two-price system in energy sector during 1980s when economic reforms were in infancy. In the 1990s, the government is performing price reform again aiming at establishing a uniform price system in China. Enterprises will have to enter the competitive market (Shi 1993).
