Key issues of energy consumption in Russian industrial regions

Abstract

In any country of the world, the issues of the development of the energy industry today are very resonant in view of the dependence on it of all subjects of industry and ordinary households. The increasing volumes of consumption of electric and other types of energy on a global scale for production purposes justify the importance of maintaining energy sources in working condition. At the same time, the limited quantity and low rates of restoration of the corresponding natural resources as non-renewable energy sources confirm the need for qualitative modernization of the ways of their use. In addition, the issues of optimizing energy consumption and achieving a more efficient ratio of energy production and its use are of particular importance. Thus, an increase in renewable energy sources in the structure of energy consumption of industrial facilities in the regions, as well as the decentralization of the energy market will have favorable economic consequences and will have an impact on the growth of the country's economy as a whole. In the current conditions, the problems of energy consumption in the industrial sector are ambiguous and require special approaches to solving optimization problems, taking into account current trends in energy consumption, as well as the specifics of the geographical location of the region.
