Improving the Tariff Regulation System for Heat Transfer Services

The paper focuses on the issues of improving the tariff regulation system for heat transfer services in the Russian Federation. It has been established that such tariff regulation methods as cost-effective method and the indexing method have developed historically, and despite their comparative effectiveness, they also have some weaknesses. In order to eliminate the latter, the paper includes developed provisions for improving the tariff regulation system for heat transfer services: it is proposed to introduce two new criteria into the current tariff regulation methodology. As a result of testing the proposed measures, it will be possible to reduce tariffs by almost 30%.
