Regulation of electricity consumption based on tariffs setting

The public services system is characterized by a complex intersectoral interaction, which shapes the comfort of housing and living. One of the main utility resources is electricity, the consumption of which is surrounded by a lot of debate nowadays. On the one hand, the number of mobile and other devices powered by electrical energy is increasing. On the other hand, the production of electricity based on fuel resources is still dominant today. In finding a balance between the production of alternative, more environmentally friendly energy and reducing consumption through the use of energy-saving technologies, it is also advisable to use tariff regulation methods. The article analyzes the European experience of tariff regulation based on the priority method operating in Austria. The authors draw parallels between the current Russian regulatory system and the Austrian one, and also put forward a hypothesis about the possibility of applying this experience in the northern territories of Russia, where, along with high electricity consumption, there is wide access to hydro and wind resources.
