This paper studies the actual electricity case of a national university in northern Taiwan, pointing out that many schools will face certain asymmetrical information and practical problems in the development of power systems, such as energy-savings and carbon-reduction policies, collecting electricity fees in each division, reducing the loss of power outages, expanding the power system capacity, and maintaining power distribution equipment. These problems are closely related to electricity costs, which include general electricity fees, unexpected losses caused by power outages, purchases of replacement power equipment, and maintenance fees of distribution equipment. This paper proposes corresponding improvement plans for each of the problems in the above-mentioned actual case studies and assists school power managers in using symmetrical information to formulate the best strategies to improve electricity costs.

Our research aims to find the alteration in electricity consumption during supply chain disturbance following the COVID-19 pandemic, while seeking to elucidate the island-wide power blackout in Taiwan in May 2021. The inquiries addressed are as follows: initially, the income elasticity of electricity consumption decreases over time. We present evidence indicating a decoupling between electricity consumption and GDP, linked to higher overseas production ratio of export orders being produced. Secondly, as a result of the supply chain disruption, the income elasticity of electricity consumption escalates, and Taiwan experiences GDP growth. Electricity consumption increases rise through both channels. Lastly, utilizing a nonlinear model for prediction yields more accurate projections, potentially averting power outages.
