This paper proposed an issue aiming at the goal of pierces the relationship between the emission trading scheme and dynamic economic dispatch (DED) problem for the electricity utility. A model of the CO2 emission trading market will be investigated and introduced into DED problem incorporating wind power plant and independent power providers (IPPs). Then, an accelerated particle swarm optimization (APSO) algorithm is introduced in order to avoid prematurity convergence of the original PSO and improve searching efficiency. Thus, APSO was used to determine the DED strategy of the utility with incorporation of wind power generation and contribution of IPPs. The CO2 emission trading is treated as the inner-cost, and the superfluous CO2 quotas will be resale into the market, whereas the shortage quotas can be purchased from the market.

Our study analyzes the return and volatility spillover among the natural gas, crude oil, and electricity utility stock indices in North America and Europe from 4 August 2009 to 16 August 2019. First, in time domain, both total return and volatility spillover are stronger in Europe than in North America. Furthermore, compared to natural gas, crude oil has a greater volatility spillover on the electricity utility stock indices in North America and Europe. Second, in frequency domain, most of the return spillover occurs in the short-term, while most of the volatility spillover occurs over a longer period. Third, the rolling analyses indicate that the return and volatility from 2009 to late 2013 remained stable in North America and Europe, which may be a result of the 2008 global financial crisis, and started to fluctuate after late 2013 due to some extreme events, indicating that extreme events can significantly influence spillover effects. Moreover, investors should monitor current events to diversify their portfolios properly and hedge their risks.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a new model, namely service quality measurement for E_Electricity utility service in Odisha a state of India for the measurement of service quality. Design/methodology/approach – Service quality regulation is an important and timely issue in many industries. The question of governance of power sector is an important question before researchers, policy makers and administrators for the obvious reason of its being an important input for socio-economic development of a nation. Power sector involves complex activities like generation, transmission, distribution and final delivery of service to end-users, i.e. consumers. Initially, private sector was the main player in the power sector when the electricity came to be used in India during the pre-independence period. The trajectory of power industry, from its inception to the present, has been complex rather than being simplistic for the reason that the pendulum of industry's ownership and regulation swings between privatization and nationalization. The consumers are main sufferer in this type of situation, and the satisfaction level decreases day by day. So government has changed it's strategies by implementing e-governance to electricity sector for achieving maximum consumer satisfaction. The first step to e-governance is change management within the government, enhancing citizens' access to information and improving government-to-citizen (G2C) interactions. This work seeks to propose a theoretical scale to measure e-government service quality and validate the measured instrument for electricity utility service by structural equation modeling. Findings – The results indicate that basically the E_electricity service has a positive and direct influence on dimensions (web site design, fulfillment, privatisation and information). Research limitations/implications – Only Odisha state is considered for measuring online service quality in electricity utility service. Originality/value – As the electricity utility industry is doing monopoly business in India and all states basically in Odisha due to that the customer dissatisfaction is the most important obstacle. So the policy makers must concentrate on the dimensions and the sub-dimension before regulating new policies.
