“…This "win-win exchange" regulation failure can be seen as a sign of grid market power. Thus, the phenomenon of cross-subsidy is very serious, not only industry subsidizing residents, but also small and medium-sized consumer subsidizing large industry (Jiang et al, 2015). To some extent, the electricity retailing price for large enterprises can be taken as marginal cost (mc) and the price for general industrial and commercial users could be taken as the price (p).…”

The transition to a low-carbon power system is among the measures to forge green energy transition and carbon neutrality, where grid firms have a crucial role. In this context, this paper uses the provincial data from 2004 to 2017 to evaluate the impact of market power of grid companies on service quality in China. Panel dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS) and fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS) models are employed. The findings indicate that higher market power has indeed reduced reliability measured by average outage duration. Renewable energy integration also has negative effects and reduces electricity reliability. Finally, the effects are also heterogeneous across the different regions. The results may also provide useful lessons for other developing countries aiming to improve the electricity supply chain.

In Ghana, those in the poorest quintile spend a larger share of their income on kerosene than on gasoline, diesel, or liquid propane (Cooke et al 2016).…”
