Development of the Efficiency Level Estimation Algorithm of the Regional Energy Saving Policy

In the work the point of view of authors is grounded based on that for the purpose of the formation of the level of the energy efficiency of the region from the position of the technological, natural and economic, social, ecological and other factors the task of the development of the methodological basis of the energy efficiency estimation methodology development of regions. At the same time it is necessary to ascertain the system of targeted regional indices influencing on the energy saving policy in regions both positively and negatively. Authors ascertain that these indices shall reflect top-priority problems of regions on one hand and determine potential opportunities of the region in the area of the energy efficiency growth on the other hand. Based on the aforesaid authors ascertain that each type of regions has its own system of performance targets characterizing possible directions of the energy efficiency level growth of the region. Therefore, during the development of the energy efficiency estimation methodology realization algorithm presented in the article of Russian regions the attention is paid to the matter of the classification of regions upon types according to economy structure indices, the content of energy-intensive branches and other factors having the direct and indirect effect on the energy consumption level and the energy efficiency of the regional policy in the first stage. So the energy efficiency estimation algorithm and methodology of the regional economy on the basis of the ascertained system of performance targets are provided in the article.
