A STUDY ON THE EVALUTION METHOD OF THE GAS DISTRIBUTION COST IN KOREA

The domestic liquefied natural gas project has been carried out as a national energy scheme since the late 1980's in Korea. The natural-gas supply for civilian demand is limited to the Kyung-In area. In addition, seven major city gas corporations which now participate in the project occupy the monopolistic service area. In this study, objective cost evaluation criteria for gas distribution and an improved proposal in the evaluation method are suggested. They will go forward in solving the problems to promote demand and prevent excess profit or deficit according to the physical characteristics of the monopolistic service area.
