Abstract

This study analyzes the reasons, factors and prerequisites for the development of digitalization processes in the energy industry in Russia. An overview of the Digitalization Strategy of the Russian industry, its priority goals and objectives is presented. Based on the analysis of the Energy Strategy of Russia until 2035, the main problems and threats to the development of the industry are highlighted. Among the tasks of digitalization of the energy industry in Russia, priorities are outlined: working with big data, increasing the efficiency of asset use, transforming the model of interaction with customers, optimizing the system of electricity management and distribution. The article, based on the data of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation and information posted on the official websites of energy companies, collected and analyzed material on the role of digital technologies and the dynamics of their implementation in the energy complex of Russia. Energy policy priorities vary from country to country, but the role of digital technology is widely recognized. In conclusion, conclusions are drawn about the expected effects of the introduction of digital technologies in the field of operational safety of energy infrastructure facilities, an increase in the technical level of energy systems and a reduction in losses.

Highlights

  • Russia is a net exporter of all types of energy resources, except for uranium, and consistently ranks 1st in the world in gas exports, 2nd in oil exports and 3rd in coal exports

  • The prospects for the development of the industry are associated with such areas as increasing the profitability of the use of assets, including through the withdrawal of inefficient capacities, increasing labor productivity; investments in new directions of using energy resources; energy efficiency consulting; increasing competence in the field of digital technologies among specialists and personnel employed in the industry

  • As a result of the study, it was revealed that investments and the introduction of digital technologies are of great importance for the development of the energy industry in Russia

Summary

Introduction

Russia is a net exporter of all types of energy resources, except for uranium, and consistently ranks 1st in the world in gas exports, 2nd in oil exports and 3rd in coal exports. Russia provides 16% of the world energy trade, exporting about half of the primary energy produced (in 2018, 708 Mtoe with an energy production of about 1,440 Mtoe). According to the Energy Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2035 (hereinafter referred to as the Energy Strategy), the total volume of energy exports by 2035 will increase by 1.15 - 1.46 times and will amount to approximately 800 - 1000 million tons of oil equivalent. The share of natural gas, as the cleanest hydrocarbon energy source, in the total volume of primary energy consumption is planned to increase from 51.9% in 2018 to 53 - 55% by 2035, and the share of non-carbon energy sources
