Grid Investment’s Impact on Transmission and Distribution Tariffs Considering Carbon Costs

Abstract

In the era of growing emphasis on dual-carbon policies, accounting for the carbon emissions cost in the transmission and distribution tariffs of power grid enterprises should become crucial for power grid enterprises, which is the main source of carbon emissions. This paper incorporates carbon costs into accounting grounded on the 2022 transmission and distribution tariff pricing method and analyzes the impact of power grid investment on transmission and distribution tariffs. The aim is to guide power grid investment decisions towards low-carbon power grids.
