OBJECTIVES OF AND WAYS TOWARDS RESTRUCTURING THE POWER INDUSTRY (PREPRINT IBRAE-2001-10)

Preprint IBRAE-2001-10

Platonov V.V.

The paper presents the author’s views of key issues associated with restructuring the Russian electric power industry, viz., objectives, tasks, major principles, and stages of this effort. It is shown that, for a number of reasons, the concept of restructuring put forth by the “UPS of Russia” Company guarantees neither reliable power supply of regions nor the energy safety of the country. Considered are practical solutions on orienting the electric power industry to not only the self-regulating impact of market relations, but also possible state regulation, with regional power systems preserved as base forming links of the industry.
