Description
Summary:Electric-power industry has the great influence on the development of economy and status of the country in general. Its stability and reliability has a great effect on national economy and welfare of citizens. Electric-power industry in Russia experienced many reforms but some of the fundamental problems have not been solved and the level of its efficiency is still questionable. Nowadays most experts agreed that Russia and the whole world are on the threshold of energy crisis that is why one of the priorities of economic policy should be energy efficiency which is a way of reducing the consumption of energy resources by enterprises and households. These actions should be taken due to the necessity of reducing negative impact on the environment associated with consuming of energy resources and waste products of enterprises and increasing requirements for energy efficiency in today’s world. At present it’s rather hard to analyze electricity sector in Russia. Statistics from different official sources do not correspond with each other. Sometimes it is hard or even impossible to differentiate electric power from heat energy among all resources. All these facts and many other circumstances make the analysis of electric energy market very difficult. To increase the efficiency of electric-power industry in Russia several problems must be solved, among them environmental protection issues related to reduction of electricity producing in cost. Thus it will help us to prevent possible negative technological, socioeconomic and ecological consequences of certain operations. This article considers fundamental problems of electric-power industry in Russia, their possible solutions, and development strategy of this industry to 2035.
