PROBABILISTIC MARGINAL TOOLS FOR ASSESSING THE EFFICIENCY OF ENTERPRISE ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Abstract

The paper highlights that the existing tools for assessing the efficiency of energy management do not take into account the stochastic nature of energy flows and contradict the main economic goals of enterprises — profit maximization, including the one achieved through the growth of competitiveness. It is shown that the economic efficiency of the use of enterprise resources depends both on the technological level of production and the level of prices and competition in the markets of resources and products. Based on the marginal probabilistic approach it is proposed to link the available tools for assessing the efficiency of energy management with the share of energy costs in the market price of a unit of product prevailing in the competitive markets.
