The article deals with the possibility of the implementation of artificial intelligence, which will improve the efficiency of national economy, including the energy industry. The paper presents the principles of using neural networks and elements of artificial intelligence in the processes of production, transmission and consumption of electricity. It has been revealed that the use of artificial intelligence in the electric power industry will make it possible to minimize disruptions in power supply.

The study is dedicated to ensuring sustainable functioning and economic development of the electric power complex. The article analyzes the impact of the fuel and energy complex on the economy of the Russian Federation. The paper presents the stages of the formation of the electric power industry, which ensures the functioning of industrial production and the vital activity of mankind. The study proved that the electric power complex is a capital-intensive industry and is connected by a single technological process. Of course, in order to maintain the stability and efficiency of the industry, it is necessary to ensure the management of the stable functioning and economic development of the electric power complex. The study analyzed the definitions of stability, which contain a set of indicators containing both technical and technological parameters, and economic. Based on the results of the study, factors were formulated that affect the sustainable functioning and economic development of the electric power complex. In conclusion, the study presents the main findings and results of the work.
