2000年实行了两项新的天然气关税，其效果截然不同。其中一项取消了固定的长期收费，而另一项则专门针对低收入消费者，对符合条件的消费者实行与燃料消耗量无关的预设收费。我们分析了取消长期收费对不同家庭群体的影响，包括燃料穷人，政府目前的重点和监管政策。我们发现，虽然低收入群体从废除长期收费中受益更多，但燃料穷人的收益低于平均水平。我们将其与其他有针对性的预设收费方案进行对比。
Two new gas tariffs were introduced in 2000, with contrasting effects. One abolished a fixed standing charge, while the other, specifically targeted at low-income consumers, introduced a preset charge, independent of fuel consumption, for eligible consumers. We analyse the effect of the abolition of the standing charge on different household groups, including the fuel poor, the current focus of government and regulatory policy. We find that while low-income groups have benefited more than others from abolition of the standing charge, the fuel poor have gained less than average. We contrast this with the other targeted preset charge scheme.
