Abstract
The article outlines the main stages of the digital transformation of the energy sector of Russia since 2014. The methodological framework of the summary is composed of the key federal laws and industrial regulations that formed the foundation of the digitalization of the Russian energy sector. The study revealed two focus segments for Russian energy transformation. The first one deals with the development of the methodological framework for digital transformation (departmental project “Digital Energy”). The second one works towards the development of new technical solutions, their active field testing and elimination of emerging administrative barriers (EnergyNet road map, “Unified Technical Policy - Power Supply Reliability” project). It has been established that technological development trends in the Russian energy sector generally match those in the rest of the world (smart energy, distributed generation, renewable energy, consumer services etc.). Private projects that are being implemented as part of these initiatives prove highly efficient technically and economically and are attracting wide attention in the global energy market.

Summary
The traditional structure of the energy system of Russia is currently out of date. The average rate of depreciation for fixed assets is 70 to 80% depending on the specialization of the energy business [1, 2], while the asset renewal rate is usually not so high. The development of the energy market should take into account constantly growing demand for electric power and meet qualitatively new demands of society (environmental friendliness, availability, mobility, digital quality) [3,4,5,6]. This is only possible with the start of new investment cycles that are aimed at replacing obsolete energy capacity, and at the adoption of new digital technologies at energy facilities [7,8,9]. In the Conclusions part of the article, the main results are summarized and technological trends that accompany the digital transformation of the Russian energy sector are described
