"The power sector in the south IndianState of Andhra Pradesh faces a significant
supply deficit as well as restrictions in the national availability of fossil resources and
grid capacity. Moreover, electricity supply is of low quality in terms of scheduled and
unscheduled power cuts and peak deficit is continuously growing. Planned
installments of new generation power plants – mainly coal fired – will be carbon
intensive but insufficient to cover power demand with growth rates of eight to ten
percent per year. These developments highlight the importance of energy efficiency
improvements to moderate growth in power demand. In the case of Hyderabad,
characterized by rapid growth of power demand in the sectors of domestic and
industrial customers, renewable energies for power generation have become more
important during the last years. Consideration of demand for service quality
improvements and stable security of supply requires precise knowledge of individual
preferences in terms of marginal values of willingness to pay (WTP) and the
determinants of these values. Until now research on energy efficiency measures
rarely considers consumers’ preferences. In order to increase understanding of the
WTP for improved electricity quality we use a choice experiment to estimate how
consumer surplus changes with the introduction of energy efficiency measures and
in how far consumers are willing to bear additional costs due to these initiatives. With
a survey of 800 private households we estimated the marginal WTP for
improvements of power supply quality in terms of reduced scheduled and
unscheduled power cuts, for renewable energy and preferences of organizational
form of the distribution company. With the results of this study we discuss how
preferences for local applications of efficiency technologies can be realized and what
are the pre-conditions on the policy level." |
