The equity and efficiency of electricity network tariffs
Farrell, Niall; Meles, Tensay Hadush - 2023
We estimate the welfare implications of a cost-reflective 'Coasian' reform of electricity network tariffs using an Irish case study. We find that current Distribution Use of System (DUoS) tariffs deviate considerably from a cost-reflective structure. At the individual level, tariff reform leads...

The adoption of energy efficiency enhancing technologies
Verhoef, Erik T.; Nijkamp, Peter - 1997
This paper analyses the adoption of energy-efficiency enhancing technologies by heterogeneous firms. The fact that energy use does not only cause external environmental costs through pollution, but also directly affects the profitability of the firm and hence its behaviour on input and output...

Alternative Sustainability Criteria, Externalities, and Welfare in a Simple Agroecosystem Model : A Numerical Analysis
Bond, Craig A. - 2014
Using the numerical technique of value iteration, this paper imposes several sustainability constraints on a simple multi-sector agroecosystem model, and provides analysis of the costs tradeoffs of the product and externality affected sectors both within and between generations. Results show...

Energy Efficiency and Conservation : New Legal Tools and Opportunities
Dernbach, John C.; McKinstry, Robert B.; Lowder, Darin - 2015
Many new and ambitious energy efficiency and conservation laws are being enacted at all levels of government - and with greater financial incentives than provided previously. These innovations are intended to overcome or minimize market barriers such as principal-agent problems, information and...

Federal Energy Efficiency and Conservation Laws
Dernbach, John C.; Tyrrell, Marianne - 2015
This paper provides an overview of U.S. law and policy concerning energy efficiency and conservation. The United States appears torn between two narratives - one expressing the abundant demonstrated opportunities provided by energy savings and the other based on a fear of deprivation from using...

Electricity externalities, siting, and the energy mix : a survey
Welsch, Heinz - 2016
While early literature on electricity externalities was largely concerned with fossil fuel power generation and the … spurred a wave of research on the externalities of nuclear power and renewable energies. The issue is important because many … countries have started reconsidering their energy policies, and the externalities from electricity generation play a major role …

Assessing China's energy conservation and carbon intensity : how will the future differ from the past?
Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2010 - This version: May 24, 2010
As an important step towards building a "harmonious society" through "scientific development", China has incorporated for the first time in its five-year economic plan an energy input indicator as a constraint. While it achieved a quadrupling of its GDP while cutting its energy intensity by...
