TRENDS AND PROSPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE FUEL AND ENERGY COMPLEX OF RUSSIA

Abstract

The article examines the trends and prospects for the development of the fuel and energy complex of the Russian Federation. The relevance of the work is determined by the fact that the process of changing the structure of energy use is subject to the logic of changing technological patterns, and it is impossible not to take these trends into account when strategically planning the socio-economic development of the country. The purpose of the study is to substantiate and systematize the main trends and prospects for the development of the fuel and energy complex as a factor in ensuring sustainable growth of the Russian economy, taking into account the existing mechanisms of state regulation of the country's energy system. Based on this goal, the analysis of Russia's fuel and energy balance, the dynamics of electricity consumption and the energy intensity of GDP was carried out. The trend analysis allowed the authors to conclude about the success of the policy of introducing energy-saving and energy-efficient technologies into the Russian economy. The result of the research is to identify the problems and opportunities of the Russian fuel and energy complex during the transformation of global energy markets and the structural restructuring of the Russian economy.
