Russia is one of the world's largest producers of energy resources. Production of energy resources in Russia is profitable, both economically and in terms of the energy produced (as measured by EROI). At the present time, Russian oil and gas companies have a policy of energy saving, and data on energy consumption is given in annual reports. Based on these data, we can make the EROI calculation. In 2013, the EROI for the production, transportation and processing of gas for Open joint stock company (OJSC) "Gazprom" was 79:1; for OJSC "NOVATEK", 76:1; for OJSC "Yakutsk Fuel and Energy Company (YATEC)", only for production, 116:1. Currently, the situation in the oil and gas industry has come to a point when there is a need for the introduction of an energy audit.
The reform of the power industry in Russia is not yet complete, but there are clear features for adjusting plans and directing efforts to create competitive markets.
This article discusses the sector of generation of electric energy, where healthy competition should develop according to all the rules of economics, but the existing technological features in the generation sector create conditions for the emergence of elements of monopoly and monopoly rent in the electricity market.
