Negative climate change processes on our planet, along with rapid development of macroeconomics, stipulate the necessity of the energy sector transformation. Constant increase in energy consumption due to the growing needs of industry and population, including electric lighting, which according to OECD and IEA is going to increase by 80 % by 2050, accentuates the need to address issues related to energy conservation and energy efficiency on a global scale. At the same time, steady economic growth of any state is closely related to the availability of sufficient electricity volume. Given the current trends in the development of digital economy, which depends entirely on reliable and efficient electricity supply, the transition to low­carbohydrate power systems is a matter of concern for the vast majority of countries interested, on the one hand, in a favourable environment, and on the other hand, in stable and sustained economic growth. The given study is devoted to the interrelationship between improving energy efficiency and solving environmental problems, which, under the national idea of developing digital economy and joining the Paris Agreement on climate, is extremely relevant for Russia.

The paper analyzes The Law on Estimating Activities in various editions, as well as the dynamics of its development and improvement in the context of participants of estimating activity. The author carries out the comparative legal analysis of various articles of the Law under consideration; theoretical works devoted to legal regulation of participants of estimating activity are investigated. Certain proposals are made aimed at improving the normative legal regulation of participants of evaluation activity. In particular, it is noted that the structure of legal relations presupposes the existence of correlative rights and obligations, since law is a measure of the due, and a duty is a measure of possible behavior. In view of this, the legislative consolidation of the rights and obligations of estimators should be in a logical relationship, and not arbitrary and theoretically unreasonable.
