Abstract
The urgent need to accelerate the pace of energy efficiency improvement has directed the activities of scientists and researchers to find ways to improve existing and develop new methods and tools to solve this problem. Among these tools, national and regional energy efficiency programs play a leading role. In this study, based on the analysis of modern publications devoted to certain aspects of solving this problem, the main provisions of the generalized methodology for developing a regional energy efficiency program are formulated, which allows you to take into account local peculiarities and use the developed document for planning at the national level. The main stages of development of the methodology are determined, an algorithm for preparing the program are developed, and conditions, tools and main directions for developing investment projects are formulated. The key component of the program development and implementation is the regional energy management system, which has a hierarchical structure consisting of local subsystems. A methodology for integrating these subsystems with the regional energy services company is proposed, which allows coordinating the activities of local energy management subsystems and directing them to jointly coordinated interaction with regional energy services companies, gaining additional benefits in terms of increasing business efficiency, saving energy resources and preserving the environment.
