Abstract. The article examines the issues of creation of the best available technologies of formshaping and the methodology of quantitative evaluation of their effectiveness. It is shown that creation of a unified methodology for generation of best available technologies of form-shaping and quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of these technologies is possible on the basis of energyrelated representation of technological processes. In this case, the technological process is represented as two processes -the process of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy and the process of transfer of mechanical energy to the processing zone. This approach allows to create unified methodologies regardless of the wide variety of technological processes of formshaping, conditions and parameters of their implementation. It is shown that for each particular implementation of technological processes of form-shaping, energy losses during conversion and transfer of energy and increased consumption of current due to "underload" of process equipment determine the environment friendliness of each specific implementation of the technological process. The main directions for improvement of efficiency of the best available technologies of form-shaping are indicated.
