Summary/Abstract: The study concerns methodological aspects of valuing social costs of energy supply insecurity. There are presented methods of valuation: market price methods, revealed preference approaches based on surrogate market prices and stated preference approaches based on simulated markets. The article also provides a short analysis of advantages, drawbacks and applicability of techniques. It presents world and Polish literature surveys results concerning the value of lost load (VOLL) as monetary expression for the costs associated with inter- or disruptions of electricity supply as an effect of production, transmission or distribution failures.
