It is determined the factors that contribute to the cause necessity the implementation the new system of demand management, such as the lack of maneuvering and backup power-generating capacity, changes in the structure and modes of supply, increasing demands on quality and reliability of supply. It is proved that only direct methods of tariff regulation in modern conditions are not able to significantly affect the reduction of energy consumption and addressing the current shortage of electricity.
