Abstract

Reducing energy intensity, increasing energy efficiency are key areas for achieving sustainable growth of the country's economy in conditions of non-stationarity. Reforms related to tariff regulation, the development of subsidies and the abandonment of cross-subsidization, the delineation of social and energy policies and the introduction of stringent requirements for the quality of ser-vices, the increasing access to financing, and fiscal stimulation of the energy complex are moving slowly and inefficiently. In addition, the aging infra-structure of the energy complex requires large investment. In the conditions of the non-stationary economic regime, the optimal choice of financial, eco-nomic, institutional, administrative and regulatory instruments plays a special role in implementing measures aimed at increasing energy efficiency and de-veloping energy saving. The nature of the use of tools to improve the energy efficiency of the re-gional economy depends primarily on the level of socio-economic develop-ment of the territory that has been achieved. The current market mechanisms do not give the desired effect under non-stationary conditions. In such con-ditions, The basis for improving the energy efficiency of the region will be the instruments of state support. For the most effective use of instruments of state support in the region, the authors singled out: - Key elements that determine success in achieving the goal; - Power characteristics of the impact on the target; - The conditions for the most effective impact of instruments are not the re-sulting indicators: the way, direction and nature of the impact, the ability to adapt instruments to changing conditions. Any tool used to achieve the goals in the field of energy conservation and energy efficiency has certain characteristics. The set of characteristics of any instrument is standard, but in different types of regions it will appear in different ways. As a result, several tools with dif-ferent characteristics and a combination of these characteristics in the group will give a synergistic effect that will increase the effectiveness of achieving the goals set with the least cost. The right combination of tools will achieve the maximum possible efficiency by reducing and strengthening the impact vector.
