In the field of electric power industry in the Russian Federation, activities are allocated for the production, purchase and sale of electric energy and capacity, energy supply to consumers, operational dispatch control, and transmission of electric energy. The transmission of electrical energy is a regulated type of activity, within which prices are set separately for each constituent entity of the Russian Federation, which leads to interregional differences in tariffs for electricity transmission, and makes it important to ensure that the established level of tariffs is sufficient to maintain the quality and reliability of the services provided. The purpose of the article is to identify problems in setting tariffs for electric grid organizations. The methods of generalization of normative and theoretical sources were used in the work, including general scientific and particular scientific methods and general logical techniques (analysis, analogy, generalization, and others). The authors analyzed the main legal acts regulating the setting of prices (tariffs) for electric grid organizations, inter-regional differences in established prices (tariffs) and changes in the key components of prices (tariffs) by years. Based on the results of the analysis, it was concluded that the existing price inequality in terms of the components of the price of electric energy creates the conditions for the impossibility of prompt renewal of the power grid set. The low level of increase in unified boiler tariffs for electric power transmission services compared to both other components of the final price of electric energy (sales allowance of last resort suppliers, infrastructure payments) and the consumer price index can become critical and is the main problem when setting electric grid tariffs. organizationsTo continue the provision of reliable and high-quality services, the implementation of a set of measures is proposed that will allow, with a minimum increase in the price of electricity transmission, to ensure the reliable and high-quality functioning of electrical networks, optimizing costs, increasing the growth of non-tariff revenue.
