Abstract

Increased concern about the state of the environment and, accordingly, energy problems in the 70s and 80s. last century significantly influenced the development of new policies and strategic decisions to reduce energy losses and its rational and efficient use. Reducing energy consumption through an annual reduction in energy intensity is an indicator of the implementation of energy efficiency policies. The industrial sector, being one of the main consumers of energy, pays great attention to improving its energy performance. Therefore, increasing attention is being paid to understanding the energy status, as well as the barriers and potential opportunities for implementing energy efficiency and energy conservation programs in the enterprise. One of the main roles in increasing the level of energy efficiency and energy saving of industrial enterprises is played by the energy management system, which implements relevant programs and practices. However, due to the lack of information or knowledge, as well as the high degree of uncertainty and risk in energy markets, the problem of decision making is still relevant at the very first stage of implementing an energy management program at an enterprise, so the importance of determining the parameters that should be included in the decision-making process increases. solutions, and developing an energy management strategy in accordance with the complexity and characteristics of each company. Achieving the energy transition will depend not only on the introduction of new and innovative energy-related technologies, but also on significant and in some cases radical changes in the decisions and behavior patterns of decision makers. Given that budget allocation for any investment must have not only financial but also strategic value for the company, this paper aims to identify the parameters that influence decision-making in the energy sector in industry, taking into account the critical role of energy management systems, energy efficiency and energy saving.
