Wind of change : small-scale electricity production and distribution grid efficiency in Sweden

Mattias Vesterberg, Wenchao Zhou and Tommy Lundgren

In this paper, we measure the technical efficiency for local electricity distribution firms in Sweden, and in particular how small- and micro-scale generation affects efficiency scores. Using two-stage data envelope analysis to model the technical efficiency and a double bootstrap approach to estimate the determinants of inefficiencies, we show that firms are heterogenous in terms of inefficiency, but that a large share of small- and micro-scale generation is not associated with more inefficient operations
