Abstract

The purpose of the article is to apply the mechanism of cross-differentiated electricity tariffication to the existing system of regulated tariffs in accordance with the structure chain of “prices-tariffs-contracts”. With this purpose methods of regulated pricing are divided into three groups of methods which are one way or another orientated towards the processes of electricity supply or electricity consumptionaccording to their mechanism of regulated prices (tariffs) calculation. It is shown that cross-differentiated tariffication makes use of system approach to form electricity tariffs and that is more powerful mechanism than discriminatory pricing. Correspondence between electricity tariffs and possible indications of differentiation has been analyzed. The mechanism of cross-differentiated tariffication has been illustrated. As a result in the existing system of electricity tariffs integrated and differentiated by time, subsystems of one-part and multipart tariffs have been formed as well assubsystems of one-component and multicomponent tariffs. Connections between the formed tariffs subsystems are established. Correspondence between theformed electricity tariffs subsystems and contracts using for electricity supply is shown (forward, call option, put option).
