ОЦЕНКА РЕЗУЛЬТАТОВ И ДАЛЬНЕЙШИХ ПЕРСПЕКТИВ ВНЕДРЕНИЯ ЭТАЛОННОГО РЕГУЛИРОВАНИЯ В ЭЛЕКТРОЭНЕРГЕТИКЕ

Abstract

Since 2018, the electric power industry has been undergoing an evolutionary restructuring of approaches to the formation of regulated tariffs. In particular, the government of the Russian Federation passed a decree introducing new rules of sales markups of GESs using the analogue comparison method. It provides for normalization of operating expenses. All participants in the electricity market and state executive authorities needed to reconfigure with reference of a radical transformation of approaches to tariff regulation. The authors of the article focus on the assessments lack of the reconfiguration results and the small volume of recommendations for expanding the use of yardstick regulation. The article summarizes the results of the five-year period of the new tariff regulation approach of GESs. The authors also presented an assessment of the prospects for further use of the analogue comparison method in relation to electric grid enterprises. This was the purpose of the article. To achieve this goal, the authors analyzed the results of the switch to the analogue comparison method. In particular, the article examines changes in sales markups: an increase in the sales markup median value of GESs has been revealed by 2–3 times since 2018, depending on the group of consumers. In conclusion, the authors proposed possible tools for adjusting and fine-tuning the method of analogues comparison in relation to the GESs activities. The article also gives the author's assessment of the prospects for expanding this method to other natural monopoly segments, including electricity transmission and distribution.
