The world experience of public administration of logistics processes in the field of energy

Abstract

The article is devoted to the research of the world experience of public administration of logistics processes in the field of energy. The authors note that two models of producers' access to the network infrastructure are most widely used in the electric power sector: the access model of third-party participants and the competitive pool model. In this context the competitive pool model (independent system operator model) that is a combination of network access rules and a competitive market (pool) is deeply analyzed. The authors show that electric pools can be mandatory (mandated) and voluntary (non-mandated), when two-way trade outside the pool is also allowed. The voluntary pool is a kind of intermediate link between the third-party access model and the mandated pool model. The authors think that modern trends in restructuring, expressed in the separation of the natural monopoly core of the industry – transmission and distribution of electricity in development of competition in the generation and sales sector, – have led to the emergence and development of new price regulation mechanisms in the electricity sector.
