МЕХАНИЗМЫ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОГО РЕГУЛИРОВАНИЯ ТАРИФОВ В ЭЛЕКТРОЭНЕРГЕТИКЕ И ИХ ВЛИЯНИЕ НА РЫНОК

Abstract:
This article examines the impact of state tariff regulation mechanisms on the structure and dynamics of the Russian electricity market. The aim of the work is to identify the institutional and economic effects of various mechanisms of state tariff regulation and to determine the conditions for their adaptive application. The scientific novelty lies in the construction of an integrated model of the relationship between the tariff regime, market concentration and investment dynamics, taking into account the regional specifics of the Russian electric power industry. The author analyzes costly, stimulating and hybrid methods of regulation in the context of market liberalization, expansion of price zones and integration processes. An empirical assessment of the dependence of investment activity on the type of tariff mechanism, the level of concentration and the volume of cross-subsidization has been carried out. It has been established that support for renewable energy and distributed generation through tariff mechanisms stimulates the structural transformation of the industry, but requires balancing compensation mechanisms to prevent excessive load on regulated segments. Stimulating regulatory methods positively correlate with investment growth, while high concentration and significant subsidies reduce the effectiveness of price signals. The result of the research is the proposed concept of an adaptive tariff circuit, taking into account regional specifics and the phase of energy infrastructure development. The obtained scientific results have practical significance and can be used in improving tariff policy, as well as in the process of forming long-term investment incentives in the electric power industry.
