摘要

有效的规划和监管程序可确保能源系统有序运行。通常情况下，决策并不是在规定的时限内做出的，离散的审批程序也不常见。如果多个审批程序依次进行，则可能会加剧特定的延迟。这些因素会对系统成本产生负面影响，并最终影响消费者福利。我们的研究表明，延迟会对电价、系统排放、基础设施投资和系统运营成本产生重大影响。我们对爱尔兰的数据进行了数值模拟，结果显示，由于规划和监管审批的延误，批发电价最高会上涨 10%，二氧化碳排放量最高会增加 4%。

The impact of extended decision times in planning and regulatory processes for energy infrastructure

Effective planning and regulatory processes ensure orderly energy systems. Often, decisions are not made within mandated timeframes and discrete approval processes are infrequent. A given delay may be compounded where multiple approval processes exist in sequence. These factors can negatively affect system costs and, ultimately, consumer welfare. We show that delays have meaningful impacts on electricity prices, system emissions, infrastructure investment and system operating costs. Our numerical simulation of data from Ireland shows that wholesale electricity prices are up to 10% higher and CO₂ emissions up to 4% higher, attributable to delays associated with planning and regulatory approvals.

期刊介绍： Utilities Policy is deliberately international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral. Articles address utility trends and issues in both developed and developing economies. Authors and reviewers come from various disciplines, including economics, political science, sociology, law, finance, accounting, management, and engineering. Areas of focus include the utility and network industries providing essential electricity, natural gas, water and wastewater, solid waste, communications, broadband, postal, and public transportation services. Utilities Policy invites submissions that apply various quantitative and qualitative methods. Contributions are welcome from both established and emerging scholars as well as accomplished practitioners. Interdisciplinary, comparative, and applied works are encouraged. Submissions to the journal should have a clear focus on governance, performance, and/or analysis of public utilities with an aim toward informing the policymaking process and providing recommendations as appropriate. Relevant topics and issues include but are not limited to industry structures and ownership, market design and dynamics, economic development, resource planning, system modeling, accounting and finance, infrastructure investment, supply and demand efficiency, strategic management and productivity, network operations and integration, supply chains, adaptation and flexibility, service-quality standards, benchmarking and metrics, benefit-cost analysis, behavior and incentives, pricing and demand response, economic and environmental regulation, regulatory performance and impact, restructuring and deregulation, and policy institutions.
