Universal human rights treaty bodies and their place among international institutions

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the constitutional principle of the constitutional principle of the freedom of contract for contractual relations between energy distribution organizations and consumers of electric energy in retail electricity markets. Doctrinal approaches to understanding constitutional principles, their relationship and mutual influence, which are the basis of the study of the question posed in the study, are considered. The authors' conclusions are based on analysis: legislation on electricity, in terms of regulation of legal relations in retail electricity markets; Energy distribution regimes; the design of power supply contracts and electricity purchases; imperative provisions of the electricity legislation in contractual relations. As a result, it is concluded that the doctrinal principles of contract freedom in retail electricity markets, when contracting the purchase and sale of electricity and energy supply, operate in two of its manifestations, both in full and taking into account the necessary restrictions (features, exemptions) related, first of all, to the constitutional principle of the social state.
