Implementation of energy service contracts in the Russian Far East

The purpose of the study was to analyze the effectiveness and problems in the implementation of the Federal Law of November 23, 2009 No. 261-FZ «On energy saving and improving energy efficiency, and on amending certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation» and Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 18, 2010 No. 636 «On requirements to the terms of the energy service contract and on the specifics of determining the initial (maximum) price of the energy service contract (lot price)» in the power industry in the Russian Far East. The scientific novelty is the analysis of problems arising in the implementation of energy service contracts in electric power enterprises in the Russian Far East, which have been little studied due to the peculiarities of enterprises of energy suppliers and the unilateral nature of the Federal Law «On Energy Conservation» limited by energy users. All isolated energy systems of the Russian Far East, including the northern territory of Yakutia, Chukotka, Sakhalin, Magadan, and Kamchatka Territories, remained outside the reform zone. The main problem in the electricity industry is the limited tariffs, which serve as a deterrent to the development of enterprises, their modernization and reconstruction, which are necessary to reduce the cost of electricity generation. One of the effective and accessible mechanisms is the implementation of energy service contracts on mutually beneficial terms for investors and customers. However, those who have shortcomings and omissions in the legislation, as well as the state’s policies for the development of the Russian Far East, can become a deterrent in the implementation of energy service contracts in the electricity industry. The authors analyzed energy service contracts signed in Yakutia, studied problems and possible mechanisms to solve them. Based on the above, it is proposed to create authorized centers in the regions of the Russian Far East to coordinate the actions of customers, investors and energy companies, for example, in regional departments of the Federal Antimonopoly Service.
