In the past, we only used electricity to light the dark; but now, we use it to make many apparatuses run, including computer, TV sets and many other electrical machines. In order to make these machinery work properly, we need more reliable, stable electric power, especially high technical industrial customers. Wanting to have high quality power, we need not only to have plenty of power supply, but also to have strong transmission and distribution network system. However, the infrastructure of a power system is no doubt costly. As the power company is a public utility, and in order to finance further development, it must get reasonable profit from the electric rates. For this reason, we must balance out the power quality and rates. The high technical customers in scientific park need higher power quality than other customers. Therefore, the power company has paid a lot of efforts to improve the strength of their power supply network system for the hi-tech clients to lure their continued investment. At present, the rates of electricity do not take into account the differences of the different services among various clients. It’s not fair, especially after power deregulation. This study proposes a model to resettle electric rates. The model takes the differences of power quality into account as well. The proposed formula suggests that the power company separates the extra investment for some customers from other costs and this extra investment shall be paid by the particular customers.
