Abstract

Introduction. Tariffing as a process is complex and important, especially to ensure an adequate level of energy security and competitive balance amongst its participants at all levels. Therefore, it is important to follow the rules when setting tariffs in any sector or region: methodological approaches to calculating future tariffs should be readily accessible; tariffs should be easy to implement; future costs should be secured in such a way as to prevent possible shortcomings in the decision-making process; in order to develop the networks themselves and to use them effectively, as far as possible, the tariffs paid by their users should fully reflect the costs they incur in the system.

The purpose is a comprehensive study of methodological and practical approaches to calculating regional tariffs for natural gas transportation and distribution services. The methodology of the investigated problems includes the systematic scientific methods of cognition, namely: analysis, synthesis, critical thinking, empiricism and modeling of a possible scenario.

Results. Therefore, as a result of the study of methodological and practical approaches to the regional tariffs calculation for gas transportation and distribution services, it was determined that this process is fraught with certain difficulties and is particularly important for ensuring an adequate level of energy security and competitive balance among its participants at all levels.

Conclusion. As a consequence, when setting tariffs in any sector or region, it is important to adhere to the following principles: transparency, simplicity, avoidance of possible distortion, predictability, value reflection, non-discrimination, cost recovery.

Key words: distribution, transportation, natural gas, region, distribution of natural gas, method of calculation of tariff formation, gas distribution company.
