Abstract

The issues of optimizing regional pricing are especially acute for the Kaliningrad Region due to its exclave features. At the same time, the cost of energy resources has become one of the main issues in making managerial decisions. Recently, the so-called Technoparks have become one of the new forms of organizing the production process in a certain branch of industry, or a process that is at the junction of several branches. There are a variety of descriptions of the indisputable advantages of this work format for a specific technological process, however, the possibilities in the field of reducing the costs of consumed energy resources that arise with such a local siting of production are not discussed that often. According to the authors of the article, based on the structure of the tariff, it is possible to classify methods of reducing the cost price by the impact on the components of the final cost of energy supply services. It should be noted that the classification sign of saving methods will be precisely the component of the tariff, while the methods themselves can be aimed both at reducing the price expression of each component of the tariff and at the volume of services for this component. The authors have also identified regional features of the pricing processes in the energy industry.

Highlights

  • The transition period of the domestic industry from a planned economy to a market economy has raised the issue of the struggle for production costs for manufacturers

  • The inclusion of Russia in the global market and the need to fight competitors for a consumer made it necessary to formulate the requirements for each cost item in a new way, and the cost of energy resources became one of the main issues when making managerial decisions: the share of costs for the purchase of energy resources in the cost price of products of Russian manufacturers reaches 10%, while for several industries, the share of costs for electric energy in the total cost structure is more than twice that of Western competitors (1)

  • At the beginning of the 21st century, the liberalization of the electricity market began in Russia, which was supposed to create opportunities for competition in this market of various participants, which, according to the reformers plan, was to make the relations of all stakeholders more transparent, the work of energy companies more efficient, and the constant growth of the tariff burden on consumers replaced with a market mechanism of price formation based on the balance of supply and demand

Summary

Introduction

The transition period of the domestic industry from a planned economy to a market economy has raised the issue of the struggle for production costs for manufacturers. The inclusion of Russia in the global market and the need to fight competitors for a consumer made it necessary to formulate the requirements for each cost item in a new way, and the cost of energy resources became one of the main issues when making managerial decisions: the share of costs for the purchase of energy resources in the cost price of products of Russian manufacturers reaches 10%, while for several industries, the share of costs for electric energy in the total cost structure is more than twice that of Western competitors (1). The formal start for the operation of the Power Joint Market was the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No 529 of August 31, 2006, "On Improving the Functioning of the Wholesale Power Joint Market."
