The school 1958 was founded in Beijing, formerly known as Beijing Electric Power Institute, and has long been managed by the national electric power department. 1969 The school moved from Beijing to Handan, Hebei Province, and 1970 moved to Baoding, renamed Hebei Electric Power Institute. 1978 was approved by the State Council as a national key university, and was renamed as North China Electric Power Institute in the same year.

1995, North China Electric Power University and Beijing Institute of Electric Power Economics merged to form North China Electric Power University. In March 2003, the school was placed under the management of the Ministry of Education by the former State Power Company and officially became a university directly under the Ministry of Education. From June 5438 to October 2005, with the approval of the Ministry of Education, the school headquarters was moved from Baoding to Beijing, and a campus of North China Electric Power University (Baoding) was set up.

By the end of 20 18 and 12, official website shows that the school covers an area of 1600 mu, with a building area of10 million square meters, forming a school-running pattern with two campuses (Beijing and Baoding), and the two places implement substantive integrated management.
