Cap prices or cap revenues? The dilemma of electric utility networks
Alrick Campbell
Energy Economics, 2018, vol. 74, issue C, 802-812
Abstract:
In this paper I analyse the behaviour of a monopoly electricity provider that serves three distinct markets under a price cap or revenue cap plan. I make comparisons in terms of their effects on price setting, energy conservation, and social welfare.
