Svirkov, S.A. Contract for the operative dispatching control according to the legislation on electric energy

Abstract: The article contains analysis of the legislatively provided procedure for the implementation of operative dispatching activities in the sphere of electric energy, as well as of the main forms of such activities. The author provides characteristics of the ODC contract. At the same time, it is proven that the legislatively provided contractual service form for this type of services does not correspond to the nature and contents of these relations, causing a number of organizational problems. Analysis of the contents of control instruction does not allow for its recognition as a service in a civil law sense of the term. The methodological basis for the studies included general scientific (dialectic) method of cognition, methods and techniques of formal logic (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, etc.), as well as special cognition methods: formal legal methods, comparative legal method, technical legal method, linguistic method, institutional method, systemic method, empirical method, etc. The article is characterized with the scientific novelty, since the ODC relations are not sufficiently studied within the Russian legal doctrine. At the same time the article contains evaluation of the currently existing legislative construction in this sphere and the possible ways for their improvement. The main conclusion of the article is an initiative for the centralized implementation of the ODC activities, based upon the contract of adhesion to the trade system of the wholesale market.
