Energometodiku change
In 2010, NERC intends to adopt the new methodology of tariff for the services of power companies to transfer and delivery of electricity. The new procedure will encourage suppliers to reduce costs and improve service quality for consumers.
National Commission Electricity Regulation in the first quarter of this year, plans to develop a new procedure for the formation of tariffs for services of natural monopolies, power companies, which will contain elements of incentive regulation and energy suppliers will abolish the current model of cost-based pricing.
As the chairman of the Public Council at NERC and the president of the Energy Association of Ukraine Vasyl Kolko, regulators intend to prepare a document as quickly possible, and then proceed to its adoption later this year.
“This is the only tool that can compel power companies to reduce costs and improve its efficiency in the interests of all parties, including consumers. Europe has a long abandoned existing in Ukraine is still cost-based pricing model, which removes the economic incentives for power companies. Stimulating Methods tariff - a substitute for competitive mechanisms for natural monopolies “, - said Kolko.
According to him, the new model will include the establishment of tariffs for transmission and supply of electricity for a long termperiod of five to seven years with a guaranteed rate of return, as well as a partial view of the inflationary component and the level of implementation of company standards for quality and service. In the case of non-power companies set standards for the price of services the company will - accordingly - to decrease and vice versa.
main indicators of quality of services provided by energy suppliers, are the reliability of energy supply (the number of emergency shut-off), the speed and rapidity of the elimination of accidents in the networks, the frequency stability of current and voltage.
“In turn, the establishment of standards for quality of service requires a reliable statistical base, advanced reporting and data validation. In this regard we are not even aware of what heaven is located, and in the villages, we do a complete outrage” - said Kolko.
As reported in one of the Ukrainian energokonsaltingovyh companies transition to a new tariff methodology with quality standards will require increased tariffs for transmission and delivery of current to economic levels - the average for companies in 1,5 times. The share of services to power companies in the final retail tariff per kilowatt-hour of the Ukrainian average 12-14%.
“To talk about quality standards in our level of tariffs - is an illusion. Especially when you consider that the technical infrastructure breakdown is 70%, and the aging network ahead of their recovery. At first, you need to understand as you like and as much as possible to invest in our network,” - the expert said. In addition, according to the source, during the transition to a system of European quality standards should take into account the climatic factor, and particularly the national power grid.
