It offers a synthesis of the recent economic research on the subject. The volume is divided into three major parts, each presenting a general aspect of transmission pricing: its legal and accounting background, its basic theory, and its implementation, successively. \u003cbr\u003eHow much does it cost to transmit electricity from a nuclear plant close to Lyon in France, to a car manufacturer located in Stuttgart in Germany? What price should a system operator in Canada charge a pulp and paper mill that uses the high-voltage grid for only a few weeks per year? Where in California is it more profitable to reinforce or build a new transmission line? What is the best place to locate a power gas station in England, in order to pay the lowest transmission cost? Such questions are novel and crucial for American and European liberalised electricity markets. \u003cstrong\u003eTransport Pricing of Electricity Networks\u003c\/strong\u003e shows how the economics toolbox can be used to answer them.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFrançois Lévêque\u003c\/em\u003e is professor of Law and Economics at the Ecole des mines de Paris.
