Abstract
The article considers the current issues of stimulating innovation in the energy sector and rational use of energy resources. A three-level system of problem-oriented management of human resources for stimulating innovation in the energy sector is proposed. The system considers the impact of the human factor on innovative development at the national, regional and enterprise levels. Also, the need to encourage enterprises to hire highly qualified specialists in the sphere of energy saving and energy efficiency is proven. The role of the tax policy in state regulation of the rational use of energy resources and stimulation of innovation in the energy sector is substantiated. The tax incentives for the rational use of energy resources applied in the world practice are grouped. Features of the application of tax incentives (accelerated depreciation, tax credits, tax holidays, and tax reduction) for energy efficiency and energy saving of households and business entities are analyzed. Directions for stimulating innovation in the energy sector for the efficient use of energy resources are offered.
Highlights
Innovation is a force for progress in any sphere of human activity
Socio-economic development of the national economy under conditions of shortages of energy resources is impossible without development and implementation of a balanced state policy of stimulating the rational use of energy resources and innovations in the spheres of energy saving and energy efficiency
This benefit can be applied by home producers if energy consumption is 50% less compared to the requirements envisaged by the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)
Summary
Innovative development is an important factor for increasing the level of competitiveness of the country’s national economy, its territorial units and business entities. An important role in this process is assigned to human resources, which, on the one hand, provide legislative and organizational mechanisms for stimulating innovation at the national and regional levels, and, on the other, ensure the development and implementation of new ideas and technologies. Socio-economic development of the national economy under conditions of shortages of energy resources is impossible without development and implementation of a balanced state policy of stimulating the rational use of energy resources and innovations in the spheres of energy saving and energy efficiency. The development of directions for the rational use of energy resources stimulates the increase of financial stability, energy and environmental security, and, as a result, ensures the country’s economic security and increases its competitiveness
