Abstract

The article investigates the existing problems of outdoor lighting enterprises in settlements and identifies areas for their leveling. The data on the number of electricity meters consumed by outdoor lighting systems of settlements and the costs of their maintenance are analyzed. It is revealed that the positive dynamics is the increase in the share of differential metering devices. But, due to the increase in the cost of electricity, the cost of maintaining one light point in 2018 increased compared to 2017 and amounted to 255.2 UAH. Positive dynamics is marked by a decrease in the amount of electricity consumed and the costs per operation of one light point, especially in the context of rising electricity tariffs, the reason for this reduction in costs is the increase in LED light sources. The study of electricity distribution companies providing lighting of settlements made it possible to identify certain common problems, namely: insufficient working capital, unsatisfactory liquidity of enterprises, general technical wear and innovative backwardness of electricity distribution equipment, high operating costs and insufficient lighting equipment , lack of funding from local budgets for the modernization of urban outdoor lighting, lack of long-term strategic planning of innovative activities of enterprises and measures to attract investment resources, lack of efficiency in collecting and publishing information. It is established that one of the main directions of solving the existing problems of electricity distribution companies, given that most of them are communal enterprises, is to intensify the attraction of investment resources from various sources of investment, including through public-private partnerships, which is also confirmed world experience in the development of such enterprises. Attracting investment resources on the basis of public-private partnership makes it possible to: apply the latest innovative technologies, partially transfer project risks to a private partner, reduce the cost of investment projects through the use of optimal technologies and motivation of the private partner.
