Energy security of fuel and energy companies in the context of the formation of national economic security

Abstract

The publication considers aspects of the formation of energy security by companies in the fuel and energy complex (FEC) of Russia in the context of ensuring state security in the face of numerous threats and challenges. The priority role of the activities of fuel and energy companies in providing resources for sustainable socio-economic development of Russia, as well as a colossal contribution to the economy and society at all levels of existence, is stated. Attention is focused on the system of threats and challenges to energy security, formed by the fuel and energy companies, among which are the incompleteness of systemic and structural reforms in the industry, lack of resources and competencies to intensify strategic development, weakening of internal and external competitiveness under the influence of the sanctions factor, as well as unwillingness for a low-carbon transition. Practical solutions are proposed to improve the energy and economic security of the fuel and energy complex and the Russian economy in the face of great threats and challenges.
