Concession as a tool for improving energy efficiency in case of tariff regulation

Abstract

In this paper, we study the state of heat networks in Russian Federation. Modern technologies used to reduce losses in the pipeline and increase energy savings in the boiler house are considered. The article analyzes the experience of using pipelines in foamed polyurethane insulation as the most effective way to combat heat losses. The current problem of financing investment projects in the energy sector and the difficulties of attracting private capital in this area are studied. One of the ways to solve this situation is to conclude concession agreements. The paper presents the results of tariff calculations with the participation of the boiler house in the concession, which prove the effectiveness of modernization under the concession agreement.
