| 摘要 | Electricity pricing is the main economic instrument used to charge for residential electricity and to manage its consumption. A regulated price in general cannot reflect the true value of electricity. However, a market-based electricity-pricing scheme for residential electricity is efficient while it is also criticized due to its unaffordability to the poor. This article empirically compares four electricity-pricing schemes, namely, increasing-block pricing (IBP), floating increasing-block pricing (FIBP), free market pricing (FMP), and a price-cum-trade incentive system (PTS), in terms of the aspects of efficiency, equity, and cost recovery by using electricity-related data for Taiwan. The research results show that IBP and FIBP suffer from the same problem in that it is hard to be cost-neutral, and FMP is economically efficient while preferring utility to the households. PTS performs the best, in that it can be economically efficient, as well as cost-neutral, and it can also improve income distribution. |
