The paper aims to develop and introduce a price-dependent management model of electricity demand schedules at industrial enterprises. The research methodology comprises Smart Grid Concept and Demand-side management, in particular. The authors analyse demand-side management tools applied in Russia and abroad and substantiate the urgency of introduction of demand management tools at Russian industrial enterprises. We also develop a classification of factors hindering the process of introducing an electricity demand management model at manufacturing plants. The authors propose a model for price-dependent management of industrial demand for energy resources which allows for identified factors and the structural interconnections between enterprises’ production divisions. With a view to accelerating the introduction and increasing the efficiency of the model, the paper provides an algorithm for its consistent implementation. The algorithm consists of five stages following the principles of a gradual increase in the number of industrial units covered, growing complexity of the management model and a step-by-step increase in the economic effect. The article gives an in-depth description of the stages of implementation of the price-dependent management model with the development of the parameters of the introduced changes in all areas of an industrial enterprise’s activity.
