The sustainable development of gas transmission companies of Ukraine through the formation of an effective energy saving mechanism

Abstract

Abstract The annotated article deals with the features of formation and functioning of the energy saving mechanism for business under the implementation of sustainable development concept. Herewith, the energy saving mechanism has been considered as an organic component of the mechanism of business management enabling to integrate energy saving problems with effective current business management problems. The main focus of this study is to develop the algorithms and the evaluation methodology for energy efficiency of the enterprise. In particular, the article suggests evaluating the effectiveness through the following stages: the assessment of energy saving potential use of the enterprise; the development of a system with operating performance indicators of the energy saving mechanism; the determination of the integrating indicator of the energy saving mechanism. The article approves the suggested methodology by means of highly specialized gas transmission companies and discovers the level of use of such components of energy saving potential of the enterprise, as technics and technology, finances, management, personnel. An assessment of the average annual energy saving potential was performed and the forecast of the integrating indicator of the energy efficiency mechanism of the gas transmission companies was carried out The suggested methodological approach has been proven to be useful in the system of energy saving at the enterprise.
