Energy management: DSTU ISO 50001:2020 and conditions of martial law

Abstract

The authors of the article emphasize the relevance of the issue of energy management system functioning and its role for the country's economy and business entities. As the authors point out, this problem becomes particularly acute in the conditions of martial law in Ukraine. The article highlights that effective management of energy resources can contribute to the stabilization and development of the national economy, reduce dependence on imported energy, and diversify energy sources. The authors also emphasize the importance of investing in renewable energy sources and developing innovative technologies to improve energy efficiency, which contributes to environmental preservation. The article also stresses the need to adapt energy management practices to the challenging conditions of war based on the provisions and principles of DSTU ISO 50001:2020. It is emphasized that modern energy management faces a multitude of specific and critically important tasks, especially in wartime. These tasks include ensuring a stable energy supply, the rapid restoration of damaged infrastructure, promoting energy conservation, protecting energy infrastructure, and effective management of energy resources. Collaboration with government organizations and military structures is crucial, and communication with the public is also significant. All of this requires quick decision-making and flexibility, which are key to successful energy management in times of war. Particular attention should be paid to the consideration of strategies and decisions that can help overcome these challenges, including the wider adoption of renewable energy, energy conservation, and energy efficiency in the activities of businesses. In conclusion, the authors emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach and rapid adaptation to changing wartime conditions for effective energy management. They point out that such an approach will not only help Ukraine overcome current challenges but also ensure a sustainable energy future. This, in turn, will contribute to economic growth, environmental improvement, and national security.
