Abstract

The article analyzes the concept of an energy supply contract, its essential features and the importance of concluding it for Ukraine in wartime conditions. Since the introduction of electricity in the 19th century, the supply of energy was often organized through agreements between producers and consumers that set the terms of supply. In the 20th century, universal energy supply systems were created in many countries, where energy supply contracts became standard and regulated by the state. In connection with the development of technology and the growth of competition, the terms of contracts have become more diverse, including fixed and variable prices, terms of delivery and payment. With increased attention to the problems of climate change, conditions aimed at stimulating the use of renewable energy sources appeared in energy supply contracts. The author analyzed the current legislation that regulates the conclusion of these contracts and the system of their validity. A conclusion was made about the importance and necessity of high-quality and timely energy supply for the Ukrainian people. Attention was drawn to the need to create backup power supply mechanisms in case of emergency, electricity payments in conditions of limited access to energy resources, as well as additional security measures to ensure the continuous operation of the power grid and power plants in the event of military threats. It was concluded that in the context of Ukraine, which has a complex energy system and dependence on energy imports, energy supply contracts play an important role in ensuring the stability and development of the country's energy sector. Analysis of the energy supply contract shows constant changes in the interaction between suppliers and consumers of energy, reflecting changes in technology, economics and energy policies.
