Abstract

One of the key ways to reduce the cost of purchasing electricity for industrial consumers when entering the wholesale electricity market is to eliminate the payment of sales surcharges of regional guaranteeing suppliers. The difference in the values of sales surcharges in the regions of Russia, the irregular share of sales surcharges in the value of the final price of electricity, the constant dynamics of the growth of sales surcharges determine the need for a comparative analysis of the economic effect of entering the wholesale electricity market of industrial enterprises in different regions of Russia. On the basis of the author's indicator “average sales allowance”, a comparative assessment of the absolute values of sales allowances operating in different regions of Russia is carried out, which allows us to emphasize the significant differences in the economic effect obtained by industrial enterprises when entering the wholesale electricity (capacity) market, the value of which can reach sevenfold. Based on the analysis of the indicators of the share of the sales premium in the final price for the supply of electricity in the regions of the Volga Federal District, the conclusion is made: the value of the market tariff does not directly depend on the values of regional sales allowances, however, the share of the component of the sales premium in some regions exceeds 10%, which emphasizes the difference in the possibilities of obtaining an economic effect from work in the wholesale market for industrial enterprises. The article evaluates the dynamics of changes in the indicators of average sales surcharges for the subjects of the Russian Federation, which made it possible to identify the trend of growth of sales surcharges in most regions, that indicates the effectiveness of industrial enterprises entering the wholesale electricity market in the long term.
