INTRODUCTION
• Electricity: - Demand for electricity: grow 70% faster than GDP- Generation of power tends to follow the nation’s resource
endowment.
APPLICATION OF THEORIES:Public goods
• Excludability: in modernizing society, it is not feasible to exclude anyone from the benefits of using electricity
• Rivalry in consumption: Big debate
- Governmental construction of power plants and transmission network: MC = 0
- Lack of supply => could be some rivalry- Policy-makers: treated electricity as a
public good
Rivalry in consumption
Yes No
Exclusion from
consump-tion
YesPrivate goods Toll goods
No Common goods
Public goods
APPLICATION OF THEORIES:Externalities
Positive Externalities
• Substantially contribute to economic development
• Consumers surplus of using electricity:
satisfy basic living requirements and standards
• Created jobs for citizens.
Negative Externalities:
• Environmentally: - Thermal fuels: CO2 and SO2 emissions. - Nuclear power: radioactive risks. - Large hydro projects: disappearance of
forests, loss of biodiversity, alter the river downstream.
• Social costs :- Changes in lifestyle and loss of
livelihood- Rehabilitation compensation- Loss of jobs for farmers.
APPLICATION OF THEORIES:Natural monopoly
• For producing and distributing electricity firms: declining average and marginal costs
• public policy chose a regulated monopoly framework. Electricity should be affordable, reliable and available at reasonably stable and predictable price => doubt that open market would achieve these objectives
FURTHER QUESTIONS
• Whether this vital public service might be better supplied by a competitive commodity market than by the monopoly one we have relied on for decades?
• Should power plants be left in the hands of the government given the various market failure situations and the fact that it involves massive sunk costs which the private sector might not be able to handle?
