Assessment of factors ensuring sustainable development of the electric power industry in the context of transition to renewable energy sources of the national economy

Abstract

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.

Development of scientific and technical potential in the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union

“…Thus, we can conclude that the state is not only the initiator of research activities, but also the main source of funding for this type of work. In addition, in the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation, the number of personnel employed in research and development is decreasing, and in the Republic of Belarus and the Republic of Kyrgyzstan, their number is increasing [7][8][9].…”

Assessment of the innovative potential of agriculture of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union

“…We consider it necessary to propose a system that allows for the innovative development of agriculture of the Eurasian Economic Union (figure 4) [17][18][19]. Thus, the presented system shows that it is possible to ensure the innovative development of agriculture in the EAEU member states due to the incomplete restructuring of agriculture in all countries, and the adjustment of lagging states to best practices.…”

Assessment of innovation activity in the countries of the world

“…Because of the assessment, the level of science and innovation in Russia was determined, which is lower than in developed countries, and therefore, it is advisable to identify the problems that hinder innovation in Russia. It is advisable to divide factors that negatively affect innovation activity into world, national, industry and corporate ones and present them in the form of the following scheme (figure 4) [21][22][23]. From the presented scheme, it is clear that groups of factors related to the scientific, technical, personnel, financial, regulatory, industrial and organizational component, affect innovation activity.…”
