Abstract
Regional economic development depends on development of fuel and energy industry facilities capable of ensuring a stable and reliable supply of energy carriers. At present, it is impossible to imagine livelihood of population without electrical energy. Russia produces 1094 billion kWh of electrical energy, of which 580 billion kWh is consumed by industry. Electrical energy is the basis for development of all types of economic activities. It is a condition for creation of material values and an increase in the standard of living of population. Modern industrial technologies are characterized by high energy intensity. Industry is dependent on electrical energy which drives power equipment. Electric power affects productivity which is the main indicator of production efficiency. The increase in GRP is mainly accounted for manufacturing industry (high-tech production) and service sector. Such indicators as GRP per capita, the volume of goods shipped by manufacturing industries, consumption of electricity by industry, and electric power per worker characterize sustainable socio-economic development of regions. It is relevant to conduct a statistical analysis of these indicators and identify development prospects to ensure energy security of regions.
Highlights
One of the stably consumed products by humanity is energy
The task is to analyze the level of regional economic development and indicators affecting the quality of life for the population: GRP per capita, the volume of goods shipped by manufacturing industries, electricity consumption by industry and electric power per worker
The analysis shows that regions with a high rate of electric power per worker have cheap electrical energy generated at hydro and nuclear power plants (Table 1)
Summary
One of the stably consumed products by humanity is energy. The level of development of electric power industry determines scientific and technical progress. Any technological processes are a priori energy consumers. Electrical energy is necessary when transporting raw materials and finished products, crushing, drying, mixing, grinding, centrifuging, separating, filtering, conducting electrochemical reactions, etc. Electrical energy is used in electrostatic phenomena (deposition of dust and fog, electro-cracking). Electrical energy is necessary in all physical and mechanical processes for the processing of raw materials
