Developing a methodology for assessing the effectiveness of criteria for setting tariffs for territorial network organization

Abstract

A methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of tariff setting criteria for territorial network organizations has been presented using the Irkutsk Region case. General recommendations on the application of criteria for conducting a comparative assessment of network organizations have been given. It has been noted that it is necessary to consider specific indicators for comparing organizations of different scales and occupied market share (shares in the boiler). Within the framework of the tasks set before the study, the effectiveness of the applied evaluation criteria and the possibility of ranking territorial network organizations according to their economic indicators based on these criteria have been shown. A brief overview of the methodological basis of pricing in the electric power industry and performance indicators of network organizations has been given. It has been shown that the use of specific performance indicators makes it possible to ensure the correctness of a comparative assessment of various network organizations in terms of their economic performance. The developed methodology makes it possible to assess the unevenness of the establishment by state bodies of tariff regulation of tariff decisions for various organizations based on a comparative analysis of specific performance indicators. The obtained study results can be used in the operational activities of electric grid companies in the pricing sphere, as well as when preparing and conducting research in the economics of the electric power industry.
