The effects of smart grid development on society are taken as responses. Then, a novel method for evaluating social benefits in energy saving and CO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> emission reduction from smart grid development is presented.
