Estimation of the influence of power price on the electric energy rate

In modern conditions of market relations in the electric power industry, a mechanism is needed to regulate the purchase and sale of power, which should not lead to a deterioration in the reliability of the energy power system. Competitive power take-off became the main component of this mechanism. Within its framework, nuclear power plants, hydroelectric power plants, new power units, as well as thermal power plants, which are necessary for heat supply to consumers, are compulsorily selected. The article examines the process of price formation for capacity, its relationship with demand, and shows the main features that affect its final indicators.
