The objective of this paper is to shed
some light on the benefits of improved access to electricity
supply, specifically the benefits referred to as,
'consumer's surplus', which is the difference
between what customers are willing to pay for the utilities
associated with electricity access and the price that they
actually pay. The paper leads to several important policy
messages for the preparation of investments aiming to
increase energy access in developing countries: consumer
surplus as the measure for estimating benefits of enlarged
access by households to public electricity supply needs to
be used with caution; make sure that benefits of increased
access to electricity are measured both in terms of gains in
consumer surplus and gains in real income from
electrification; plan electricity access expansion taking
into account that reinforced electricity access may increase
consumption of electricity modestly; plan electrification
along with accompanying measures to ease access to
electricity consuming appliances; and strengthen public data
on energy consumption. The paper leads to specific
conclusions relative to: the methodology to calculate
benefits of increased electricity access; demand patterns
for lighting purposes; demand patterns for entertainment and
information purposes, and (4) other uses of energy. |
