We responded to the future market liberalization planning by including factors, such as, environmental effects and government policies, in addition to electrical line construction, and operation cost factors involved in the entire operational model planning. On the basis of responsibility sharing, this study used the simulated-responsibility three-phase pricing method. The proposed pricing method is expected to help attain the following policy goals:
