Abstract

Estimation of economic impacts of power interruptions in residential customers segment is a challenging and tedious task. The literature presents different methods to come up with sound calculations for these customer interruption costs. This paper makes use of a detailed customer survey study that was conducted in Finland and presents a comparison of five different models: WTA, WTP, direct worth approach, price elasticity approach and a new macroeconomic model. When doing the analysis a total of 1009 customers are divided into three sub-categories regarding the distinct characteristics of power consumptions: households, vacation houses and farm house customers.
