Abstract
Within the framework of one of the main directions of the implementation of the state program “Digital Kazakhstan”, the digitalization of the economic sectors is envisaged, the tasks of which include the construction and effective functioning of an intelligent energy system. The modern global economy is undergoing a cultural shift towards digital transformation, where the main processes are being transferred to digital businesses, which are providing technical optimization, new revenue streams and opportunities for creating value. The authors of the article consider the issues of introducing digital technologies into the activities of enterprises in the energy industry. It is noted that, despite the understanding of the relevance of digitalization, the digital maturity of industry enterprises is still insufficient, which increases the importance of combining industry enterprises in a consortium.This article substantiates the use of digital technologies in the energy sector to solve traditional problems: coverage of services of energy companies in all regions of the country, ensuring an uninterrupted and sufficient volume of energy supply services, reducing the price level and protecting the environment. The authors identified and substantiated the main factors of the digital transformation of energy systems: digitalization, decentralization and decarbonization. The article formulates the criteria for the transition of an enterprise to the digital status and notes its advantages. The article outlines the main digital transformation technologies and their application features: artificial intelligence, blockchain, Big Data and data management. It presents the facts of foreign practice of digitalization of the energy industry.

Within the framework of one of the main directions of the implementation of the state program “Digital Kazakhstan”, the digitalization of the economic sectors is envisaged, the tasks of which include the construction and effective functioning of an intelligent energy system
The development and survival of modern enterprises nowadays is largely due to the degree of their digital processing, which is defined as the use of digital technologies to change business processes and increase efficiency and income; it is the process of going digital
It is customary to distinguish it from the concepts of “digitization” and “digital transformation”
Summary
Note – Compiled by the authors based on [4]. The concept of a control system for industrial equipment via the Internet (IoT – Internet of Things) was first developed in 1994. Experts estimate that the total savings from these activities could be in the order of US $ 80 billion per year over the 2016–2040 period, or about 5% of the total annual electricity generation costs, based on the expanded global deployment of affordable digital technologies for all power plants and infrastructure networks [8] In this way, digitalization in the energy sector, the main goal of which is to increase the efficiency of the network through better and faster monitoring, ensuring effective exchange of controlled workflow, recovery and maintenance of assets using “smarter” networks, involves the creation and use of computerized information and traffic, as well as the coordination, transmission, processing and storage of huge amounts of data generated at all stages of the energy supply chain, which is very significant for each segment of the energy ecosystem
