概要 （英文）

THIS STUDY EXAMINES THE POLITICAL AND INSTITUTIONAL BARRIERS TO TARIFF ADJUSTMENT BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF THE RATE MAKING CASESTHAT TOOK PLACE IN INDONESIA AND THE PHILIPPINES IN 1991. ANUMBER OF COMMON FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE DIFFICULTY IN ACHIEVING PRICE RATIONALIZATION ARE IDENTIFIED. THESE INCLUDE INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS WHICH TEND TO POLITICIZE TARIFF DEBATES AND PLACE PRESSURE ONTHE GOVERNMENT TO KEEP ELECTRICITY RATES BELOW COST, CONFLICTING PRICING OBJECTIVES, THE LACK OF FORMAL MECHANISM FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION, AND DEPENDENCE ON OUTSIDE PRESSURE, MAINLY FROM DEVELOPMENT BANKS, TO SECURE RATE INCREASES. THE PAPER CONCLUDES THAT A NUMBER OF MEASURES ARE REQUIRED TO OVERCOME THE EXISTING BARRIERS TO PRICE RATIONALIZATION. THESE MEASURES INCLUDE: (1)FOLLOWING A PRINCIPLE OF COST-BASED PRICING: (2)INSTITUTIONAL REFORM OF THE RATE SETTING PROCESS; (3)INSTITUTIONALIZING PUBLIC PARTICIPATION THAT NOW OCCURS ON AN INFORMAL BASIS, AND; (4)STRENGTHENING CURRENT EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE SERVICE AND EFFICIENCY OF THE POWER SYSTEM.
