| Abstract [eng] |
Liberalization of electricity market is going on around the world. It began in 1989 in England and in 1992 in the United States. It quickly spread not only in Europe and North America, but also reached South America, Australia, New Zealand and, most recently, some Asian and African countries. Although the electricity sector is rather specific and has features that are not typical to other sectors, yet the same economic laws are applied as in other economic activities. Sustainable development has been defined in many ways, but the most frequently quoted definition is from Our Common Future, also known as the Brundtland Report in 1987. Since then sustainable development has become an example of dynamic social, economic, technological and environmental indicators, which allow moving towards a better life. Scientific problem of the thesis: to ascertain what electricity market organization models are the best ones based on the established criteria and how to ascertain them. The main criteria should include the main sustainability aspects (economic, social, and environmental). The goal of the thesis: to evaluate sustainability of electricity market organization models. The object of the thesis: electricity market models. The methodology has been designed to evaluate organisational models of electricity market, which allows performing an extensive evaluation, encompassing all aspects of sustainable development. In case of prediction, there is the basis to construct different scenarios of energy policy which increase the level of credibility. The evaluation methodology, which has been designed for the evaluation of energy market organisation model, provides the basis for the identification of indicators that have the most significant influence on sustainability; also it lays down the premise for the establishment of critical values and possible changes and the analysis of reasons for the changes in sustainability. |
