摘要：

China officially established a green electricity trading market in 2021. This study investigated the intention of Chinese households to participate in the green electricity tariff and surveyed their acceptable maximum premium; afterwards, the corresponding potential carbon emission reduction is evaluated. The survey shows that 82% of Chinese households support the additional willingness-to-pay (WTP) for green electricity. The mean willingness-to-pay values without protest-zeros are evaluated as RMB14.6 with a gender differential that men prefer to pay more than women. Relative impact factors analysis shows that household' intention of using greene significantly impacts their participation in extra WTP, but households' income does not show a significant effect. On the other hand, the model for extra expenditure shows the opposite effect of these two factors. Last, the study conducted a scenario analysis to evaluate the potential emission reduction and related welfare transformation efficiency. The scenario analysis reveals that households' green electricity trading potentially contributes to 30%-54% of the carbon reduction and a reasonable trading mechanism could achieve emission reductions goal with less welfare loss. Finally, some policy implications are proposed, providing theoretical support for policy-makers.
