In recent years, affected by the COVID-19, loose monetary policy, and the Ukrainian-Russian War, the costs of raw materials, manpower, and transportation have all increased significantly. This study conducts research topic analysis through the investigation of the energy saving projects of the energy service industry (the sample survey period is from 2017 to 2022). The research topics include: First, we concern about the impacts of international inflation on the domestic energy service industry, and their responses. The second is the influence coefficient of inflation on the benefits of energy saving projects. Through the results of the two-group t-test, it is found that the performance of energy-saving projects during the sharp rise in prices is significantly worse than that during the period of stable prices. Inflation has affected the promotion of energy-saving projects in Taiwan and has had a negative impact. Through panel data analysis, we find that energy service companies are unable to pass on all cost increases to business activities, resulting in a decline in the profitability of energy-saving projects. As for the analysis of the influence coefficient of inflation on the benefits of energy-saving projects, the study found that: the operating benefits of energy-saving projects and the growth rate of the price index present a non-linear (inverted U-shaped) relationship. When the international price level continues to increase, after exceeding a certain saturation point, the energy-saving project performance will be worse. |
