Abstract

This chapter introduces the economic concepts related to pricing of energy in different market conditions. The chapter starts with the basic competitive market model and discusses the extensions required to analyse specific features (such as indivisibility of capital, specificity of assets, capital intensiveness, etc.) of the energy sector. The chapter also covers the issue of market failure and presents the commonly used market interventions in such situations. The concept of cost-benefit analysis is used as the framework for most of the analysis. The principles of energy pricing are then introduced and the economic rationale behind energy taxation is considered.

This presentation follows Rees (1984). Also see Munasinghe (1985).

In mathematical terms, \( \frac{dAC}{dQ} = \frac{{d\left( {\frac{TC}{Q}} \right)}}{dQ} = \frac{{Q \cdot \frac{dTC}{dQ} - TC}}{{Q^{2} }} = \frac{Q \cdot MC - TC}{{Q^{2} }} = 0 ; \)

Please refer to Chap. 8 for further details.

The total revenue is given by TR = P·Q, where P = price and Q = output. Marginal revenue is then \( \frac{dTR}{dQ} = P + Q\frac{dP}{dQ} \), or MR = P(1 + 1/e), where MR = marginal revenue and e = price elasticity of demand. As e is less than 1, MR is less than P.
 
5
Economies of scope imply the potential of cost saving from joint production. This is possible because the firm can make better use of facilities and services for producing a certain mix of different outputs than leaving the production of individual products to specialty firms.

However, the market failure argument has been subjected to serious scrutiny. See Robinson (2004) for such a viewpoint.
