Abstract

Almost base-loaded power plants such as flaming coal and nuclear energy require large-scale transmission facilities (LTFs) in order to send electricity to remote consumption areas. As well known, LTFs incur various social costs. However, a decentralized generation source such as integrated energy business (IEB)-based combined heat and power (CHP) plant is located in nearby electricity-consuming area, and thus it does not demand LTFs, providing the benefits from avoiding the damages caused by them. This study attempts to measure the benefits of avoiding the damages from the LTFs by the use of the contingent valuation (CV) method. To this end, a national survey of randomly chosen 1,000 households was implemented and the public's willingness to pay (WTP) for substituting consumption of electricity generated from flaming coal-fired power plant, currently a dominant generation source in Korea, with that produced from IEB-based CHP plant. The results show that the WTP for the substitution is estimated to be about 41.4 won per kWh. Considering that this value amounts to 33% of the average price of residential electricity in 2014, the external benefit of the IEB-based CHP as a decentralized generation appears to be large.

유연탄 및 원자력과 같은 기저 발전원은 대부분 수요지와 떨어진 곳에 위치해 있어 대규모 송전시설을 필요로 하는데, 이러한 송전시설은 다양한 사회적 비용을 야기하고 있다. 반면에 집단에너지사업 열병합발전과 같은 분산형 전원은 주로 수요지 인근에 설치되어 대규모 송전시설을 필요로 하지 않기에 송전시설로 인한 피해를 회피하는 편익을 창출한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 분산형 전원의 송전망 피해 회피편익을 추정하고자 한다. 이를 위해 무작위로 추출된 전국 1,000 가구를 대상으로 조건부 가치측정법을 적용한다. 보다 구체적으로는, 현재 발전량 비중이 가장 큰 유연탄 화력발전을 통해 생산된 전력을 분산형 전원인 집단에너지사업 열병합발전을 통해 생산된 전력으로 교체하여 사용하는 것에 대한 일반 국민의 지불의사액을 추정한다. 분석결과 유연탄 화력발전 대비 집단에너지사업 열병합발전의 송전망 피해 회피편익은 41.4(원/kWh)로 추정되었으며 유의수준 1%에서 통계적으로 유의하였다. 이 값은 2014년 기준 주택용 전력 평균가격의 33%에 해당하는 값으로 분산형 전원으로서의 집단에너지사업 열병합발전의 외부편익이 작지 않음을 시사한다.
