What is a power sector cost-benefit analysis (CBA)?It presents benefits and costs commonly employed in economic analysis across investments in the power sector, issues affecting the economic analysis, and the key technical information, data, and other needs for a full cost-benefit analysis (CBA). It also includes guidance on estimating the number of beneficiaries from power sector investments.
Should a detailed economic analysis capture the full costs of electricity?As a detailed economic analysis should capture the full costs of electricity, careful analysis may be required to account for existing (and changes to) subsidy policy to establish the cost-reflective tariff to be used in the economic analysis; similar care should be given to tax policies on electricity substitutes.
How does economic analysis of power systems work?As in other sectors, the economic analysis of the power sector depends on the methods used for the economic valuation of the technical performance of the system. For the valuation of social or economic benefits not directly tied to the technical performance of power systems, the reader should refer to other guidance documents.
What is a baseload power plant?Base load (or baseload) in an electrical grid is the minimum level of demand on an electrical grid over a period (i.e., a week or a year). Some generation power plants are specialized to deliver baseload power: these assets generally have low marginal costs of generation, but often large, fixed costs and slow ramp times.
Which approach is most suitable for valuing “productive uses” of electricity?A value-added approach is most suitable for valuing so-called “productive uses” of electricity. iv. When tariffs are set below the cost recovery level of service delivery, it follows those consumers are being subsidized in some way, resulting in the marginal benefit of consumption exceeding cost.
How does mpspp II compare with conventional hydropower stations?Conventional hydropower stations maintain their original pricing. For MPSPP II, three scenarios are considered. These scenarios are developed based on a 10 % renewable energy curtailment rate and an 8 % internal rate of return for the capital. The resulting electricity pricing schemes are summarized in Table
