Unified informational statistical base as a tool for monitoring energy efficiency of industrial facilities

Abstract

Sustainable development of the global and national economies requires special attention to optimizing the structure of the energy balance by creating effective energy saving tools and improving energy efficiency of those types of economic activities that are the largest end-users of energy resources - industry, population and transport. The article defines the problems of energy policy in the industrial sector of the economy. Of key importance in the study are the prerequisites for the formation of a methodology for assessing the energy efficiency class of industrial facilities. The article provides information on the dynamics of energy intensity from 2010 to 2018 and information on the planned indicators of reducing the energy intensity of the national economy. The comprehensive plan of measures to improve the energy efficiency of the economy of the Russian Federation, approved by the Government, contains a link to the rating system of industrial enterprises planned for development, which confirms the relevance of the research topic. An analysis is made of public information about industrial enterprises, on the basis of which problem areas are identified for the formation of a unified information statistical database, proposed as a basis for monitoring energy efficiency indicators of Russian industry and identifying priority issues for the implementation of specialized state programs.
