“…Second, when we convert the WTP to a VoLL (i.e., the WTP per kWh lost), our preferred estimates are in the range of 5 to 15 NR/kWh (¢4.7 to ¢14/kWh), and thus bracket the average price per kWh from the grid paid by the respondents at the time of the survey. Even more surprising, these VoLLs do not seem to be any larger than those from a survey conducted more than a decade ago, when the load-shedding crisis started (Karki et al, 2010). However, when we adjust the VoLL of those with rechargeable batteries and solar equipment to the VoLL implicit in the purchase of such equipment, we obtain higher estimates ranging from 9 to 22 NR/kWh.…”
