Nuclear power plants: legal features and formation of a conceptual model

The wholesale electricity and capacity market is a complex structure that needs careful economic and legal regulation. Reforming the wholesale electricity and capacity market and, as a consequence, the liberalization of relations lead to the formation of competition in the market and the need for contractual regulation of emerging relations, as well as the formation of competitive strategies and identification of competitive advantages. At the same time, certain areas of electricity in the development of economic relations need special legislative regulation due to the need to ensure safety during the sale of goods, construction and operation of generators. One of these areas is nuclear energy, which needs a separate consideration of its specifics, as well as competitive strategies and contractual regulation of nuclear generation. Within the framework of this study, the authors' conceptual model is proposed. It allows analyzing the competitiveness of nuclear power plants in the wholesale market of electric energy and capacity. This article will be of interest to scientists and managers of organizations operating in the field of electric power.
