It evaluates the performance of electricity tariff designs according to a variety of important dimensions, notably cost recovery, vertical equity (affordability), and horizontal equity (or price differentiation). It also reflects on the extent to which current electricity tariff designs are well-suited to incentivize efficient adoption of emerging technologies, such as distributed generation and storage, electric vehicles, and demand-side participation. The results of the survey indicate that electricity tariffs stand at ER -
