Ensuring energy security as the most important factor in forming Russia's economic security in the conditions of the new reality

Energy independence is a key element of the country’s national security. The Russian Federation is one of the world leaders among hydrocarbon exporting countries, generating, on average, at least 1/3 of consolidated budget revenues from oil and gas revenues, and 2/3 of the total volume of energy resources produced domestically is sold on foreign markets. On the basis of oil and gas raw materials, the energy bases of many countries of the world are formed, including Russia, where oil and gas raw materials form almost 30% of the country’s heat and energy generation.

The purpose of the work is to search and select the most optimal tools for maintaining stable positions in the functioning of the Russian energy industry.

The scientific article analyzes the energy security of Russia in the development of a strategy for entering the world energy markets, the effective use of competitive advantages and energy efficiency to maintain the profitability of this industry during periods of turbulence and sanctions pressure. Also important are the features of work to ensure energy security, which is confirmed by the National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation until 2035, the concept of Russia's import substitution as part of the energy security strategy until 2035, and other key elements of the development of the Russian fuel and energy complex.
