Abstract
The aim of this research is to determine the influence of electrical energy market regulation reform in Ukraine on the competitive environment, the reproduction processes of financial and innovative support, and the energy efficiency of the national economy. The authors have put forward and verified the hypothesis that, under conditions of institutional maturity of the Ukrainian electrical energy market, its liberalization and separation of the kinds of activity related to generation, transmission, and distribution leads to a decrease in prices, and the level of economic concentration stimulates implementation of innovations and the formation of reports on sustainable development. Over the thirteen-year time interval, a steady trend of decreasing energy intensity of the Ukrainian economy was established, and the appropriateness of energy efficiency management based on strategic targets was substantiated. The electricity market model in Ukraine is defined as a hybrid one, with an emphasis on trade under bilateral agreements. It was statistically found that liberalization of the electrical energy market in Ukraine contributed to a decrease in prices, with the exception of the areas of largest household and non-household consumers. The high level of asset concentration in the accounts of large enterprises was revealed, and the conclusion concerning the improvement of the competitive environment in the electricity production sector and the existence of the features of natural monopolies in the areas of transmission and distribution of electricity was made. The assessment of the financial competitive ability and profitability of electrical energy market entities was made, the main entities of the investment activity and the sources of their financing were characterized, and innovations were emphasized. The role of the standards of the audit of integrated reporting of the Ukrainian energy holdings and their role in ensuring sustainable development was determined.
Highlights
At global and European levels, energy sustainability is determined as a top priority [1].The electricity market has general principles of development and regulation inherent in other commodity markets, but it is quite specific due to the lack of material form in its main product, as well as the existence of natural monopoly sectors
This study is based on data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine regarding a dynamic series of indicators of energy balances for the period 1990–2019, energy intensity of the national economy, and energy consumption based on renewable sources for the period 2007–2019
The main scientific result of this article is that it has determined the impact of the reform of regulations of the Ukraine electricity market on the competitive environment, the financial and investment support of reproducible processes, and the energy efficiency of the national economy
Summary
At global and European levels, energy sustainability is determined as a top priority [1]. The electricity market has general principles of development and regulation inherent in other commodity markets, but it is quite specific due to the lack of material form in its main product, as well as the existence of natural monopoly sectors. Since 1996, the Ukrainian electricity market and its independent regulator have gone a long way in their 4.0/). Evolution, which can be described as a vector of movement from the “single buyer” market model to the target model of the national market, determined by EU legislation. Agreement with the EU and the implementation of the directives and regulations of the. According to Energy Community Secretariat estimates, based on the results of 2020, the level of their implementation amounted to 49% [2].
