Abstract
This study quantifies the value of lost load (VoLL) for the manufacturing sector in South Korea using stated preference methods. VoLL represents the cost of a stable electricity supply, which serves as a public good without a market price to compensate for flexible resources in the electricity market. The contingent valuation and choice experiment showed VoLL ranges from 0.35 to 0.80 USD per kWh unserved, below the industrial VoLL estimates in the existing literature. This finding suggests that outages may have lower costs for electricity consumers than investing in flexible resources. Using the correct estimate of outage costs is required to ensure capacity adequacy.
期刊介绍：
Utilities Policy is deliberately international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral. Articles address utility trends and issues in both developed and developing economies. Authors and reviewers come from various disciplines, including economics, political science, sociology, law, finance, accounting, management, and engineering. Areas of focus include the utility and network industries providing essential electricity, natural gas, water and wastewater, solid waste, communications, broadband, postal, and public transportation services.
Utilities Policy invites submissions that apply various quantitative and qualitative methods. Contributions are welcome from both established and emerging scholars as well as accomplished practitioners. Interdisciplinary, comparative, and applied works are encouraged. Submissions to the journal should have a clear focus on governance, performance, and/or analysis of public utilities with an aim toward informing the policymaking process and providing recommendations as appropriate. Relevant topics and issues include but are not limited to industry structures and ownership, market design and dynamics, economic development, resource planning, system modeling, accounting and finance, infrastructure investment, supply and demand efficiency, strategic management and productivity, network operations and integration, supply chains, adaptation and flexibility, service-quality standards, benchmarking and metrics, benefit-cost analysis, behavior and incentives, pricing and demand response, economic and environmental regulation, regulatory performance and impact, restructuring and deregulation, and policy institutions.
