Analyzing the factors influencing the formation of the price of electricity in the deregulated markets of developing countries

The aim of this paper is to measure the impact of certain factors on the formation of the price of electricity, which is obtained from conventional and renewable energy sources, in the deregulated markets of developing countries, such as Montenegro.
