First, we investigate cross-ownership – a situation when a firm is active on both the demand and supply sides of the TGC market – by linking suppliers and obliged parties to their parent firms. Next, we calculate indexes of market concentration that account for cross-ownership. Finally, we use detailed TGC transaction-level data to analyze differences in the prices of the TGCs traded by cross-ownership versus non-cross-ownership firms. Our results show considerable cross-ownership, with many firms active on both TGC supply and demand sides. However, even after accounting for cross-ownership, the market concentration of the entire TGC market is low and has decreased over time. Despite the absence of market concentration, our analysis of TGC prices indicates that cross-ownership firms have the ability to differentiate TGC prices from non-cross-ownership firms. Such behavior is consistent with the behavioral assumption that the ultimate owner's objective is to maximize the total profit of the portfolio of shares, and that, therefore, the pricing behavior would differ from that of a perfectly competitive firm without ownership links to other firms in the industry.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"183 ","pages":"Article 113822"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50202434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, increased PV self-consumption reduces imported electricity, posing challenges for cost recovery by Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and Distribution System Operators (DSOs), whose grid costs were traditionally tied to volumetric tariffs. To investigate whether alternative tariffs could mitigate PV impacts at the distribution level without hampering PV development, we assess five electricity tariffs that could help the DSOs to recover the costs of maintaining the distribution grid. We also analyze their effects on private storage investment and their implications for urban, semi-urban, and rural low-voltage networks. We found that tariffs with a capacity-based component promote further adoption of PV and storage. At the same time, they allow the DSOs to recover the grid cost without incurring relevant economic differences for the customer. Our study found that alternative tariffs like dynamic and capacity-based tariffs promote the adoption of storage and PV systems. While no single tariff alone can fully mitigate PV impacts at the distribution level, our results point towards the need of managing PV export through solutions like PV curtailment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"183 ","pages":"Article 113828"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50202481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research explores how corruption and energy investment affect energy efficiency by employing statistical methodologies and analyzing data spanning from 2000 to 2017. The research findings indicate that corruption has a detrimental effect on energy efficiency. Further analysis reveals that energy investment acts as a mediator in this relationship. The influence of corruption on energy efficiency varies depending on the endowment of energy resources and the level of performance pressure. Regions with lower endowments of energy resources experience a greater detrimental impact of corruption on energy efficiency. However, in regions with higher endowments of energy resources, energy investment has a complete mediating effect. In regions with lower performance pressure, corruption significantly reduces energy efficiency, whereas, in regions with higher performance pressure, the mediating role of energy investment is more prominent. The approval system reform in the energy investment sector since 2013 has reduced the adverse impact of corruption on energy investment and, consequently, on energy efficiency. These research findings offer valuable insights for the Chinese government to address shortcomings, combat corruption in the energy sector, optimize energy investment, and enhance energy efficiency further.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"183 ","pages":"Article 113825"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50202791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
