Abstract
The article reviews models and methods for managing heat supply of consumers in a market economy. Principal organizational forms of heat supply systems are described in the form of the ‘Unified heat supply organization’ model and the ‘Single buyer’ model that may be deployed in cities and towns of the Russian Federation. The authors analyze different types of competition in the heat market and describe their possible effects. For district heating in large cities of the Russian Federation, the authors point out negative consequences from introduction to the heat market of a new organization model based on the ‘alternative boiler’ method.
