Renewable energy and its role in energy policy of Russia and other countries

The subject of the study is state energy policy in its strategic aspect and the degree considering the role of renewable energy sources in achieving its goals. The analysis of Russia’s current energy strategy until 2050 makes it possible to identify the state’s key guidelines in the long term, considering the global energy transition and trends in developing renewable energy abroad. A comparative analysis of the approaches by Russia, the EU, the US, and China to developing the energy sector has been carried out in order to identify a correlation between the resource availability of the country or the region with traditional energy sources and the degree considering the role of renewable energy sources in the energy sector. This will make it possible to further identify the key drivers of the energy transition, considering regional specifics and current policies, as well as to construct a model for assessing the country’s strategic competitiveness in the renewable energy markets. Through the analysis of statistical and scientific publications, materials from the media and industry organizations, recommendations have been formed to adjust the approach to strategic planning for developing the energy complex, considering the identified patterns and the interdependence of the state economies in achieving sustainable development goals.
