Equity effects of energy affordability interventions

This paper compares the distributional effects of price cap and lump sum transfer policies to aid the affordability of subsistence electricity consumption. A lump sum transfer is more progressive than a comparable price cap on all units of electricity. We identify conditions under which these policies have equal distributional effects. We prove that both interventions are progressive.
