Institutional experience of the European union in the field of energy resources management and prevention of threats in the energy sector

Abstract

The article examines the experience accumulated by the European Union in the field of energy resources management and the prevention of threats in the energy sector. The relevance of the chosen research topic is due to the fact that the difficult economic and political situation in the world has forced the European Union to refocus its energy policy on the production and use of renewable energy sources. The purpose of the study is to analyze the institutional experience of the European Union in the field of energy resources management and prevention of threats to energy security. A systematic approach was used as the main one, which made it possible to analyze the accumulated experience of the European Union in managing energy resources obtained in the process of functioning and development of the energy security system. The problem of providing clean energy is becoming an inherent challenge not only for Europe, but also for the entire world community, given climate change, growing global demand for energy and uncertainty about future supplies. The experience of the European Union in the development of alternative energy can be useful for other countries, in particular, the countries of Central Asia, since it is to the countries of this region that the interests of the European Union are reoriented in the conditions of the energy crisis that has erupted. In conclusion, the author concludes that all measures taken by the European Union today are mainly focused on a coordinated reduction in demand for energy resources, without taking into account the supply side. In this regard, two sets of initiatives aimed at solving this problem are proposed.
