Subject The article addresses the management of energy saving and energy efficiency at the industrial enterprise under conditions of its innovation-driven growth. Objectives The focus is on developing the conceptual framework for managing energy conservation and energy efficiency under innovative development of industrial enterprises. Methods We analyzed and defined different approaches to changing the enterprise management system, including the enterprise development strategy, management goals and objectives, and management structure and processes. Results We built a conceptual model for managing energy saving and energy efficiency at an industrial enterprise in conditions of its innovation-driven growth, developed a mathematical formulation of the problem, considering various options for positioning the energy saving and energy efficiency. The paper also reviews organizational aspects of managing the energy saving and energy efficiency. Conclusions The presented conceptual approach may serve as a basis for improving the competitiveness of domestic enterprises on the basis of energy saving processes that are considered from the position of their close integration with innovation management processes.

Recent literature on energy efficiency focuses on the issues of energy security and options for reducing energy consumption. Measuring energy efficiency properly and forecasting future needs is critical to the energy policies of any country, especially given the importance of sustainability in their economic development. The role innovation plays in improving energy efficiency is well researched. There is a gap in examining an opposite relationship. That is, where energy efficiency becomes a critical factor for fueling innovation. This impact can occur within a company, a region, a nation or on an international level. Here we show that regions could motivate business innovations through policies requiring energy efficiency. Based on observations from a number of regions of an emerging economy, we show that energy efficiency impacts innovation. As a side effect it can contribute to export increases, which in turn can improve regional attractiveness for investors. We believe that the spiral development of the relationship between energy efficiency and innovation used as a strategy could become sustainable.
