ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE CURRENT STATE OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL REGULATION OF RELATIONS IN THE FIELD OF ELECTRICITY IN THE CONDITIONS OF UKRAINE'S EUROPEAN INTEGRATION

Abstract

The relevance of the article is that today, the use of electricity is an integral part of life and supports the normal implementation of the state social function, the function of protecting independence and territorial integrity. It is extremely important that the administrative and legal regulation of relations in the field of electricity meets modern socio-economic conditions, is independent of political factors and especially outside the legal and corrupt. The study of the current state of administrative and legal regulation of relations in the field of electricity will clarify the level of compliance and ways to improve the effectiveness of such regulation, its relevance. The article states that the distribution of electricity was not separated from the supply of electricity, which later led to the emergence of several energy supply companies in one area through the privatization of uncontrolled local networks, which were on the balance of enterprises in other industries (eg coal and metallurgy) , or through the alienation for debts of networks that were part of the regional energy supply company. In addition, methodological tools have been identified that determine the movement of the system of state regulation of the electricity sector. It is shown that in the conditions of the developed electricity market administrative-command management methods can be applied in fact only to state companies, in particular NEC "Ukrenergo" in terms of allocation of system operator and corporatization of the enterprise, which will transmit electricity through main and interstate networks. It is concluded that the current state of administrative and legal regulation of relations in the field of electricity is unstable, which is caused by the process of its reform. Positive aspects of the current situation include approaching market conditions, increasing proliferation of alternative and renewable energy sources and legislative encouragement of such activities, and the activities of authorized bodies have been improved, especially with regard to the administrative powers and tasks of the Regulator. At the same time, administrative and legal regulation should be aimed at meeting the needs of the population, especially the use of land for electricity, pricing, joint activities of authorized bodies. It should be emphasized that the existing shortcomings of administrative and legal regulation of relations in the field of electricity can be eliminated only comprehensively and consistently.
