The author reviews the issues of legal regulation of public relations in the Fuel and Energy Complex of the Russian Federation during the extreme period of the coronavirus pandemic. The author concluded that neither Russia nor any other foreign country had been ready to face the pandemic, both in terms of an action plan arrangement or legislative and regulatory control. Which, among other things, has had a negative impact on the performance of the Fuel and Energy Complex companies. For a radical solution of the issue, the article suggests and substantiates three options with due account for the fact that it is impossible to rule out potential next waves of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic or other global natural or anthropogenic catastrophes. The study was funded by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research within the frameworks of research project No. 20-011-00270.

At present, the Russian gross domestic product consists mainly of revenues related to the sale of oil. At the same time, the current Russian laws has no definition of oil, while in the neighbouring countries, including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Ukraine, such a definition is present in the laws. In Russia, many attempts have been made to regulate public relations related to oil in detail, both on the federal and regional levels. However, such initiatives have always faced opposition, despite the fact that even today the legal regime of relations related to oil in Russia is not comprehensive. The author justifies the need for a legislative definition of oil and attempts to provide such a definition. The definition of oil may be particularly important when disputes arise between legal entities on different levels (whether private companies or public authorities acting on behalf of the state), since even the basic concepts may not coincide in their legal meaning in different national legal systems.

The main objective of the electric power industry is to provide for uninterrupted and reliable operation of power systems in order to meet the demand for electric power. The introduction of digital technologies in the wholesale electricity and capacity market is aimed at improving the efficiency, safety and continuity of its operation. The author highlights the features of legal support of digitalization in the wholesale electricity and capacity market, and proposes the possibility of expansion of the experimental legal regime to the wholesale electricity and capacity market. Information security issues are considered taking into account the fact that market participants may suffer not only financial and reputational losses from the implementation of security threats, but also damage to the life and health of people, the environment and the market infrastructure. The author concludes that it is necessary to develop means of legal protection of interests of owners and users of electronic software systems, as well as legal regulation of automated actions carried out in the wholesale electricity and capacity market. The research was carried out with the financial support of the RFBR within scientific project No. 20-311-90034.

Energy law, just like some other complex law branches, serves to regulate a number of relations that are cross-disciplinary in nature. Cross-disciplinary interrelations with such law branches as anti-trust and corporate law are the most evident. Many studies on corporate law have been published up to date. However, only few of the numerous publications focus on specific issues of corporate regulation. Therefore, the monograph edited by V.V. Romanova, LL.D., Topical Issues and Tasks of Corporate Law, is undoubtedly of interest. It addresses two problems: the legal regulation of corporate governance in predominantly state-owned companies and the legal regulation of greenmail prevention. So far, these problems, while clearly of concern for both practice and research, have not been duly examined in the Russian literature. The applicability of this study stems from the fact that state companies and companies with significant state participation have taken the lead over the years of new Russian economy development. It can hardly be viewed as a typical model for a country building a market-based economy and, therefore, for the law of a market economy. As for the greenmail issue, answers to the arising questions can also be found in the legal plane of the economic life that is still new for Russia.

The nature of the legal regime of energy resources, requirements for their quality, metering, extraction, production, delivery, transportation, storage, pricing, customs regulation are fundamental problems of energy law. Certainty in the legal regulation of the use of energy resources as the key object of social relations within the scope of energy law has a direct impact on securing the balance of interests between energy law subjects at national and international levels. The level of the international unification of provisions on the legal regime of energy resources remains low, with the exception of unified provisions on the use of nuclear power. Due to the specific nature of energy resources, both national and international unification is performed primarily using an industry-based approach. Further development of the legal regulation of the use of energy resources, the improvement of the legal regime of energy resources, in particular, factoring in the need to apply innovative energy saving, energy efficient technologies, ensuring anti-terrorism security, and industrial safety of the energy infrastructure require legal studies in this area. Comparative legal studies of provisions on the legal regime of energy resources in other countries will be especially valuable. This article can be useful for further research into the subject matter, for education purposes.

This article examines issues pertaining to the improvement of the legal regulation of subsoil use relations in the Russian Federation. It contains specific proposals on the improvement of subsoil use law. The purpose of the legal regulation of subsoil use relations shall be enshrined in the Russian Law “On Subsoil” according to the objectives of the state energy policy for subsoil use and state subsoil fund management. The Law “On Subsoil” needs to reflect the subsoil use goals of the state described in Russia’s Energy Strategy until 2035. It seems reasonable to include a section containing basic terms and definitions used in the subsoil legislation into the Law “On Subsoil”. It is important to make sure the Law “On Subsoil” contains a rule stating that a license agreement is an integral and mandatory part of a license to help streamline the legal regulation of subsoil use licensing. It is advisable to reinforce the Russian Law “On Subsoil” and codify state control and regulation principles.

The legal regulation of trading in the wholesale electric power and capacity market is based on the Law on the Electric Power Industry and the Wholesale Electric Power and Capacity Market Regulations. The peculiarities of legal regulation established by the Federal Law “On Insolvency (Bankruptcy)” should also be considered. As of March 17, 2020, the List of Wholesale Market Actors Undergoing Bankruptcy Proceedings included 40 companies. Poor payment behavior in the wholesale electric power and capacity market is one of the main issues. Failure to pay does not only affect the settlement status in the market, but also leads directly to an unscrupulous market player being declared insolvent. In this case, the existing legal regulation does not guarantee protection against wholesale electric power and capacity market transactions being disputed unreasonably. It seems that the best way to prevent transactions from being disputed in bad faith is to amend the current revision of Article 61.4 of the Bankruptcy Law by adding provisions stating in which cases transactions required by the wholesale electric power and capacity market rules cannot be disputed.

Natural gas is exported in accordance with the terms and conditions of foreign trade contracts between the seller and the buyer. Research into the execution procedure, terms and conditions of such contracts has both theoretical and practical value. The importance of a foreign trade contract for relations between the parties cannot be overemphasized as its scope determines and legally binds the parties for the achievement of their respective goals. When entering into foreign trade contracts, the parties should consider the impact of natural gas extraction, processing, transportation, storage processes on terms of foreign trade transactions with natural gas. These terms are especially important for long-term natural gas export contracts which are considered to be the traditional form of natural gas trading. However, more recently, forms of foreign trade contracts for natural gas export used to interact with foreign buyers have become more diversified. Natural gas trading under short-term contracts using electronic trading platforms is becoming increasingly important. In this article, the author examines the key peculiarities of such contracts, defines basic advantages and disadvantages of using various contract forms for natural gas export.

As per Federal Law No. 223-ФЗ “On the Procurement of Goods, Works, Services by Certain Types of Legal Entities” dated July 18, 2011, energy companies may conduct procurement in accordance with the Procurement Regulation approved by the Customer. This Regulation shall comply with the basic principles of procurement activities, such as equality and fairness. The Procurement Regulation shall not contain any provisions limiting access to the bidding procedures, inter alia, by establishing unreasonable requirements for the bidders. As per the Code of Administrative Offenses and Federal Law No. 135-ФЗ “On Competition Protection” dated July 26, 2006, any bidder is entitled to seek legal redress for the violation of its interests, if it believes that anti-competitive practices are being used. However, in consideration of such disputes, it is essential to balance the interests, so that, by observing the interests of the bidders, the customers could exercise their right to receive high-quality deliverables, as well as apply one of the statutory principles aimed at the implementation of measures necessary to cut the customer’s costs.

Digitalization shall spur the development of market mechanisms and competition, especially in retail electricity markets, by making information available to all stakeholders, including regulators and consumers. It will be difficult to implement initiatives to make sure consumer demands are met at all times without studying global practices of using unconventional contract structures in the energy sector and the impact of the energy transition on public relations. At the same time, the absence of an effective regulatory framework that would allow us to take full advantage of unconventional contract structures for their further application in the energy sector can result in technological inferiority in key areas of the smart energy sector in terms of both technology and standardization. As the Russian regulatory framework for the regulation of public relations using unconventional contract structures is still in its infancy, it makes sense to turn our attention to other countries’ distributed generation development regulation practices that gave impetus to change the industry and use digital platforms.
