At the end of the work, conclusions are drawn from the results of the study.

The article is devoted to the issues of the transition of the electric power industry to renewable energy sources. The study analyzed the total consumption of electric energy and the installed capacity of Russian power plants, as a result, it was concluded that the increase in energy consumption. At the same time, the study found that the share of renewable energy sources does not exceed 1 GW of installed capacity and there are no quantitative changes in the volume of electricity production from renewable energy sources. The work identified factors that impede the development of renewable energy sources, which are grouped into technical, technological and economic factors, according to the level of state support and the presence of systemic problems in the electric power industry. The study proposed mechanisms aimed at developing renewable energy sources. In conclusion, the study presents the main findings and results of the work.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate innovation activity in the countries of the world.

The article is devoted to the development of digital competencies among students of higher educational institutions. The study analyzed the digital competencies of students and the level of Internet use for receiving services and their self-education. The analysis showed that students have the simplest digital competencies, while about half of the students perform specific digital operations and use the Internet for self-education; moreover, there is a digital inequality between students living in urban and rural areas. At the end of the study, activities were proposed aimed at developing digital competencies among university students and reducing the digital divide among students living in urban and rural areas.
