摘要: Abstract This research analyses the impacts of substantial changes in energy production driven by self-supply through Photovoltaic (PV) adoption. Three different regulatory design options are analysed with a model developed to estimate evolution deployment as function price by: (i) starting actual tariff structure and parameters; (ii) introducing new network usage component for rate-payer suppliers, (iii) evolving towards higher allowed revenues recovered fixed charges under tariff. The results analysis suggest that gradual transitions toward Network Access do not dissuade PV deployment.
