Abstract: The recycling of electric bills directly affects the operation of electric power companies, and the construction and operation of the bulk power marketing system. The ways to pay electric bills play an important role in the electricity market and social development. The self-operated and partner-involving ways to pay electric bills were analyzed with TOPSIS in this paper, and a comprehensive evaluation system was established in view of the electricity companies and the users as well as the partners. Based on the combination weighting method of all levels of indicators, the ways to pay electric bills were compared comprehensively and scientifically. By taking a city as an example, three self-operated ways and six partner-involving ways were analyzed, and the result indicates that the power self-payment terminals is the worthiest way for promotion in the three self-operated ways, while the Yingda recharge card has large potential, and the electric bills deducted by banks is a good way in the six partner-involving ways.

Key words: The way to pay electric bills, TOPSIS, combination weighting of indicators
