Organizational and managerial innovations are defined as a tool for bringing the applied management technologies and management methods to the necessary level.It is proved that the effective digital transformation of energy enterprises is possible only with the simultaneous application of innovations in the technological sphere and non-technological forms of innovation, which will contribute to creating favorable conditions for ongoing changes, complementarity and complementarity of transformation processes in order to obtain a synergistic effect that leads to a stronger positive innovative result. It is proposed to implement digitalization for the purposes of innovative development on the principles of balance, which digital technologies should find simultaneous application in the technological and managerial sphere.The implementation of changes in the proposed version will ensure the successful innovative development of energy enterprises on the basis of digitalization, which will contribute to the formation of the necessary conditions for economic security.
