Accounting for the economic realities of a permanent market
Given the constantly changing economic and industrial realities of the economies of many foreign countries are already using renewable sources of electrical energy: solar, tidal waves of the sea, wind, energy, biological waste, etc. Typically, producers of electricity from the above sources are small power stations with a fairly limited capacity for production. Nevertheless, in various countries in which they exist, many of them have received the right to access the wholesale electricity market and sell it for a mutually beneficial tariffs for customers with whom they have contracts.
Unfortunately, in Russia the principles of competition, free determination of counterparties to contracts awarded, free access of the wholesale market of electric energy and others not fully implemented. Thus, there is still a fairly tight restrictions on the wholesale market, having the right to enter into contracts relating to the trafficking of electricity in the market, ie market access significantly limited, do not address the issue of free determination of counterparties to contracts awarded, free prices delivers electricity to operate only on 15% of the wholesale market, in 2004, 30% - 2005 \ This means that competition is spreading its action as only those parts of the wholesale market. The remaining sector of the wholesale electricity market is experiencing direct government regulation, which has a corresponding impact on prices of contracts concluded with the state regulation of prices (tariffs).
There are also a number of issues relating to government regulation of the wholesale electricity market. International experience has various models, ranging from complete (total) control and ending with a nominal (formal) state presence in the wholesale market.
