In such situation, natural gas power was used to substitute the volume of nuclear power, but price of electricity would unavoidably rise. The purpose of this research is to survey the price premium of electricity under this situation. This research estimates mainly by contingent valuation method and use the questionnaire to investigate the willingness to pay.

Empirical result shows that student groups would like to pay NTD$158~NTD$160 to substitute nuclear power with natural gas power, the price will rise 19.0%~19.2%. Non-student groups would like to pay NTD$1,450~NTD$1,667, the price will rise 174.7%~200.8%. people would like to pay NTD$436~ NTD$455 to substitute nuclear power with natural gas power. Based on the average price of electricity NTD$830, the price will rise 52.6%~54.9%.
