Utilizing modern financing methods have been focused by governments either for low public budgets or for higher cost productivity of private sector. The financing method of Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) is one of the most applicable methods for participation of private and public sectors. This paper examines two price determination methods in Iranian electric industry and compares them. Two pricing methods are compared in this paper: 1) two parts pricing (i.e. one part of price is extended and one part of price is non-extended during the operation period of the project) and 2) one part pricing (i.e. totally extended pricing during the operation period of the project). The results show that applying either model depends on policies of government against deregulation of prices.

Thermal power plant emissions are considered as one of the most important environmental pollutions. In this study environmental efficiency of electricity industry for NOx emissions is calculated. Our data include 6 power plants of three Khorasan provinces for 1384-1387. We rely on hyperbolic translog distance function specification that treats the outputs asymmetrically by allowing equiproportional desirable outputs expansion and undesirable outputs contraction. This function is implemented by using conventional econometric techniques based on panel data maximum likelihood estimation. The result shows that environmental efficiency for this sample of plants is 93.81 on average. In addition, our estimated shadow price for each kilogram of NOx is 1.12 Rials. Results of this kind of studies can be useful for decision makers to have a better environmental prospect for planning.
