Abstract
In modern conditions, each state strives to ensure its economic security, thereby trying to create the necessary conditions for stability and sustainable development. In recent years, the country’s energy security, which is a key component of economic security, has become increasingly important. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that in modern socio-economic conditions of the country’s development it is necessary to develop the energy sector, promptly identify and neutralize existing and emerging threats to Russia’s energy security, which contributes to a gradual transition to a green economic course. The purpose of the work is to study the theoretical aspects of energy security, study its current state in the Russian Federation, as well as develop measures to facilitate the transition to a green economic course. When conducting the research, methods such as the dialectical method of cognition, monographic research, horizontal and vertical analysis, statistical methods, the method of comparing and summarizing information, as well as the method of tabular presentation of information were used. Russia’s energy security is gradually developing, as evidenced by the increase in some indicators and the decrease in others, while there is a need for further development and additional government regulation in order to achieve a higher level of energy security. Reorientation of the energy sector to the use of renewable energy sources is an important strategic task for Russia. Increasing the capacity of generating facilities that operate on the basis of renewable energy sources helps improve the quality of energy supply to the population, reduce environmental pollution and increase the level of energy security. The authors studied the theoretical aspects of energy security. An assessment of the current and future state of energy security in the country was carried out. A conclusion is made about the need for structural changes in the energy sector in order to achieve planned energy security indicators.
