The Sustainable Development

Introduction. One of the main directions of ensuring the sustainable development of the national economy and its regions is the reform of the energy sector, which can take place through the modernization or innovation of its components. An important component of these reforms is to provide the population with the environmentally friendly and socially safe thermal energy. At the present stage of management, the heat supply is the most costly branch of public utilities, which is supplemented by the problems of the inefficient fuel balance structure; worn-out infrastructure and low energy efficiency. This highlights the need to study the management of modernization of the heat supply system in the region in view of the declared vectors of the long-term development. Object of research is the process of managing the modernization of the heat supply system in the region. Subject of the research is a set of scientific approaches and practical mechanisms of modernization of the heat supply system of the region in the context of ensuring its sustainable development.

Multilateral Treaty

This chapter provides an overview of the Energy Charter Treaty. Developed on the basis of the European Energy Charter of 1991, the Energy Charter Treaty is a multilateral treaty dealing with inter-governmental co-operation in the energy sector. It covers five broad areas in the energy sector: trade; investment protection; transit; environmental protection and energy efficiency; and settlement of disputes. The trade provisions of the Treaty were designed to import fundamental GATT principles, such as non-discrimination, national treatment, most-favoured-nation treatment, and transparency. The provisions on investment protection are found in Part III of the Treaty. In particular, Article 13 in Part III deals with expropriation, while Article 10 deals with various standards of treatment of foreign investments. The rules for facilitating transit of energy through the participating States are laid down in Article 7. The transit regime is based on freedom of transit and the principle of non-discrimination. Meanwhile, Article 19 of the ECT sets forth a number of ‘best efforts’ obligations of the Contracting Parties with respect to environmental protection and energy efficiency. Lastly, the ECT includes two binding dispute settlement mechanisms: investor-State arbitration for investment disputes (Article 26) and state-to-state arbitration for basically all disputes that may arise under the ECT (Article 27), with the exception for disputes concerning competition (Article 6(7)) and environment (Article 27(2)). The chapter then looks at the Energy Charter Conference, an inter-governmental organization established by the ECT and the governing and decision-making body for the Energy Charter Process.

Free Development

The rapid development of innovations in the industry 4.0 era led to new or evolved companies. At the same time, the accepted concept of carbon-free development requires building a new philosophy for the company’s management. The paper aims to analyse the key attributes of teal organisations (as a new type of a company) from the energy sector (as a core sector for carbon-free transformation). The paper summarises the core features of teal organisations and their attributes. In the paper, three hypotheses are tested: innovations and technologies are the most used attributes among teal organisations from the energy sector; organisational and corporate culture are the least used attributes among teal organisations from the energy sector; in the energy sector, the companies that have the attributes of teal organisations primarily work in countries with a high level of innovation and information technologies (as a core indicator of Industry 4.0) and economic development. For testing the hypotheses, the following methods are applied: a Friedman test, a paired-samples t-test, the principal components analysis, a correlation analysis, an ANOVA test (analysis of variance), and a regression analysis. The online survey generates the data for analysis. The object of the research is the workers from the energy sector companies from five countries (Poland, Ukraine, Georgia, Slovakia, and Romania). The findings of the statistical analysis confirm the first and second hypotheses. Companies in the energy sector mostly use innovations and technologies as the attributes of teal organisations. The regression analysis results show that an increase of 1% of patent applications leads to an increased energy efficiency of 1.29%. Additionally, the implemented features of teal organisations in the energy sector allow for improving the country’s energy efficiency, which, as a consequence, then boosts carbon-free development.
