MODERN PROBLEMS AND CONTRADICTIONS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STATE ENERGY POLICY OF UKRAINE

Abstract

Implementation of strategic tasks of energy sector development, implementation of large-scale measures for technical renewal and modernization of fixed assets, as well as consistent implementation of competitive relations in the fuel and energy complex and adjacent energy markets are significantly complicated due to the imperfection of the state tariff and tariff, the lack of objective methodological approaches to the determination of economically justified level of prices and tariffs for energy for different categories of consumers. Recent research and publications analysis. Scientists such as Baryakhtar V., Voloshin О., Kilnitsky O., Kuhar V., Maistro S., Palshin G. and others have devoted their publications to the analysis of existing problems and contradictions of the implementation of the state energy policy of Ukraine in the current conditions. However, many issues regarding the problematic aspects of energy sector development and the effectiveness of Ukraine’s state energy policy implementation remain poorly understood. The purpose of the study is to analyze the existing problems and contradictions of the implementation of the state energy policy of Ukraine in the current conditions. In a market economy, energy prices in the domestic market must be economically justified, that is, reflect the real costs of its purchase (production), transportation and delivery. In addition, the World Bank adheres to the need to build the most transparent energy market in Ukraine, including bringing prices to an economically sound level. Carrying out a real pricing reform in the energy sector will have a positive effect on improving the competitiveness of the Ukrainian economy in the long run.
