Abstract
Introduction. Introduction. The efficiency of the choice of a price category for electricity consumers is highly relevant for the theory and practice of industrial enterprises in Russia. The issue is of particular interest to domestic researchers as well. Among the types of tariffs offered by guaranteeing electricity suppliers to industrial consumers, the fifth and sixth price categories stand out which imply that electricity purchase is based on consumers’ submitting daily forecasts of their hourly consumption to the supplier. The power receiving devices of consumers of the fifth and sixth price categories allow measuring hourly amounts of electricity consumption.
The purpose of the work is to assess the efficiency of the transition of retail market consumers to paying for electricity according to the fifth and sixth price categories.
Research methods. The article presents techniques for calculating the maximum levels of unregulated prices for the consumers who pay electricity bills according to the fifth and sixth price categories. Economic analysis of each component of the calculation of the price parameters related to the supply of planned hourly electricity consumption in the retail market has been carried out.
Research results. The schemes of electricity price transmission to consumers by guaranteeing suppliers, as well as the distinctive features of the price categories used in the retail electricity market are presented. On the example of electricity prices in the regions of the Volga Federal District, the degree of efficiency of using the fifth and sixth price categories by electricity consumers has been analyzed. The calculation of the effect parameters shows very low rates of the resulting savings that are absolutely disproportionate to the costs associated with the formation of forecasts in the case of selecting the fifth or sixth price category. For producing high quality daily forecasts of the planned hourly consumption of electricity, it is necessary to make a clear plan of the manufacturing equipment operations, synchronize the work of the energy and production support services of the enterprise, allocate a separate staff unit to collect data on commercial electricity metering, etc.
Conclusion. The author’s calculations indicate that the use of the fifth and sixth price categories in retail markets is not economically beneficial for consumers.
