Abstract
Energy safety problems arise and require solutions at the macro and meso levels. Energy security contributes to the extensive and intensive development of industry and services, the creation of comfortable living conditions for the population of the region. At the same time, there is a problem of quantitative assessment of the energy security of the region. The purpose of this study is to find an indicator reflecting the state of regional energy security and its impact on the economy. The proposed methodology makes it possible to determine: the supply of fuel and energy resources, taking into account the availability of the resource and the level of its consumption; the level of energy security based on changes in the provision of energy resources, linked to fluctuations in the gross regional product. According to the studies carried out according to the developed methodology and based on the statistical data of the city of Sevastopol, the level of energy security of the region is positive, despite the negative values of the provision of energy resources (except for 2020). At the same time, the gross regional product shows growth. It can be assumed that subsequent periods of the city’s functioning will be characterized by economic growth. Further research by the authors will be aimed at predicting both the energy and economic security of the region.
Highlights
Energy security, along with economic, social, environmental, industrial, informational, scientific and technical, cultural, food security, is a structural element of the region's security
Speaking of countries around the world, “European countries were found to be at the top of the global energy security performance (ESP) rankings, while African countries were at the bottom
Iran has a leading position in energy security performance, while Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan have the lowest level of the energy security indicators compare to other region countries” [7]
Summary
Along with economic, social, environmental, industrial, informational, scientific and technical, cultural, food security, is a structural element of the region's security. Speaking of countries around the world, “European countries were found to be at the top of the global energy security performance (ESP) rankings, while African countries were at the bottom. Having studied the experience of individual regions of the world, the authors note that “Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan made significant progress in energy security since 1990, while energy security indicators in Russia, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan regressed. Iran has a leading position in energy security performance, while Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan have the lowest level of the energy security indicators compare to other region countries” [7]. In view of the vastness of the territory of the Russian Federation, the regions have specific economic activities and energy security problems inherent in them. “Nowadays, it is relevant to consider changes in the structure of the fuel and energy balance of industrial regions and the availability of imported fuel and energy resources, especially in the areas that lack energy sources” [10]
