On approaches to determining the prospects for the development of retail electricity markets

   Possible approaches to determining the prospects for the development of the retail electricity market based on organizational and technological platforms and intersectoral balances compiled using the input-output method are outlined. Based on the conducted analysis of the main components of the electricity and heat markets, the necessity of revising the organization of these markets with the priority of a regional component based on effective historically established cogeneration is substantiated. An approach to the formation of socially oriented retail tariffs based on social standards is presented. The necessity of setting prices/tariffs ensuring fair profit within the framework of resolving the dilemma of regulating natural monopolies is substantiated and presented. The scheme of a possible model of a domestic electricity market based on the organizational platform of a competitive regional market is presented. Organizational proposals for the formation of an organizational platform are formulated and the sources of its financing are identified. The mechanisms of its functioning and development are determined through the subscription fees of retail market participants and the connection of new consumers of electric and thermal energy within investment projects. The main stakeholders of retail markets are presented, their roles and areas of responsibility in the field of cost-effective and uninterrupted supply of electric and thermal energy to consumers are defined. The main approaches to creating a digital technology-based billing system are outlined. The analysis of forecasting and planning systems for the development of the Russian electric power industry is given. The multiplicative effect of the influence of the electric power industry on the development of branches of the real sector of the economy is presented. Based on the input-output method, approaches to determining the technological and spatial directions based on the regional markets of heat and electricity are formulated.
