Abstract

Climate protection, energy efficiency, saving of the fossil fuels is important for our society. Many countries adopted the programs for solving these tasks. These programs include many technical measures for climate protection, saving of fossil fuels and energy efficiency. However not only technical measures, but also economical measures have an impact on performance of these important tasks. In this article I will try to show that application of the basic marketing principles in pricing for energy positively affects the efficiency of the use of energy recourses .For long time the energy companies had a monopoly in the supply of energy to consumers. Because the energy tariffs depend mainly from their overall needs. Taking into account common society tasks, the energy sector needs of new approaches for energy pricing. Principles of marketing can help for energy companies to be more flexible in the dealing with consumers and to establish energy tariffs according to individual conditions of energy supply. Using the general principles of marketing in energy industry you can create a flexible system of prices for energy which will be able to control the scheme of energy consumption, will be able to provide the opportunity for consumers to choose quality, security and reliability of services. Implementation of the main principles of marketing in energy pricing allows to move from the general energy tariff for large groups of consumers to the individual tariff for each consumer. f schemes and conditions of the supply of energy will give the additional saving of energy. Having opportunities to choose, the consumers will try to optimize their own energy consumption and will choose a time, when he will be able to pay for more modern equipments for its energy supply. So, using the general principles of marketing in energy pricing we will try to solve the problems of middle class population, where payments for energy are essential for theirs budget.
