Abstract: An overhaul of China's complicated electricity pricing system and the introduction of 'polluter-pays' levies for generators could help to resolve the environmental and health problems caused by the country's power stations. The study looked at the Mawan Electricity Plant in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. It found that the economic cost of the environmental damage caused by the plant was substantial and affected people for hundreds of kilometers around.
