Abstract

The energy infrastructure is a complex and evolving technical system, vital for the very existence of modern civilization. The example of Japan highlighted the main actors and considered the basic mechanisms of energy policy as an institution for the development of energy supply systems at the national and sub-national levels. The knowledge of such institution is important for monetizing Russia’s energy resources, considering East Asia as leading energy import market. The article analyse energy policy formation on the example of Japan as economy with the most mature energy institutions among other East Asian economies, and implications to the prospective energy export from the Russian Federation.

Highlights

  • The East Asian economies almost completely depend on energy import, as shown at Fig.1, where the ranking of the world’s net energy exporters is presented

  • Objective, and desire are appearing, which means that the foundation of the energy policy lies upon society’s projections of the future shaped with preferences of some “better’ options over “worse”

Summary

Introduction

The East Asian economies almost completely depend on energy import, as shown at Fig., where the ranking of the world’s net energy exporters is presented. Better understanding of the driving forces and internal processes towards goals of energy infrastructure development should provide advantages in the buildup of one’s own energy policy. The term strategy refers to unique plan designed to reach the objectives set by the entity. Objective, and desire are appearing, which means that the foundation of the energy policy lies upon society’s projections of the future shaped with preferences of some “better’ options over “worse”. Every act of making a decision in the process of implementing energy policy is guided by a weighted sum of criteria. The ability of society to calculate such criteria under real current circumstances, the insightful diplomacy of political leaders, and the working mechanisms of implementation are keys to the success of [energy] policies, after having the right strategy. Further in this paper energy policy is considered rather as institutions and implementation mechanisms than the art of diplomacy
