摘要:One of the critical sources of financing contributions to the development of the energy sector is the own funds of large city-forming enterprises of the electric power industry, which, as a rule, are possible at the expense of profits. The article attempts to analyze the methods of tariff regulation in foreign power systems. To meet the aim of the study, the cost-based method is utilized. For the stable development of the economy of any region or country, energy is a key industry. The state in which the energy sector is today results from actions and inaction taken in the economic and social spheres. The planned economic growth implies the involvement of sufficient investment in the industry. Suppose the infusion into the energy sector is not increased. In that case, we expect a deficit of the power reserve, which is necessary for uninterrupted power supply during the period of maximum load on the grid. Based on the results obtained, it can be inferred that implementing the option of a sequential transition of power grid companies to the reference level seems highly effective and advantageous.
