Abstract
The article discusses the place and role of strategic planning in ensuring that Kemerovo Oblast – Kuzbass develops comprehensively. For over thirty years, we have been studying the region with one of the leading national territorial-production centers established in the 20th century, how it emerged and functioned. Studies suggest that without regard to the economies of Russia as a whole and Kuzbass’s neighboring regions in particular, its issues cannot be satisfactorily resolved. At large, when strategic planning followed this assumption, it contributed to how fast and holistically the territory developed. Considering that, in the 21st century, strategy makers diverged from this concept and started to search for new approaches, the region’s economy has slowed down and its living standards have declined sharply. The momentum can be reversed with an active state socio-economic policy. Its previous forms, however, when the state gave preferences to private companies and did not require corresponding growth in standards of living in return, became unacceptable. It is necessary to work out a system of effective solutions and measures with mechanisms for reconciling the interests of the government, business and society within approaches that are adequate to the political and economic reality of today’s world.

Summary
The authors of this article have been analyzing the development of Kemerovo Oblast – Kuzbass for more than thirty years. Industry experts believe that the global energy system has entered a period of deep transformation, the so-called energy transition. Unlike the previous three stages, the driver of change is “not so much the economic attractiveness of new energy sources but a qualitatively new factor: decarbonization and the fight against global climate change” [2]. This means that the world’s fuel and energy balance will continue to diversify towards unconventional renewable energy sources with the use of carbon-free or low-carbon technologies. Evidence suggests that the most drastic changes await coal and its role in the structure of the world’s energy generation industry, where this type of fuel is most prevalent
