In the modern energy world is undergoing a major transformation. The structure of world energy markets is changing rapidly, roles are being redistributed among the main players, new players are emerging and new regional markets are emerging. Technological progress is constantly creating new opportunities in the production, transportation and consumption of energy, increasing inter-fuel competition, changing approaches to the regulation of energy markets, diversifying the composition of energy resources used. The lack of stability in the global energy complex affects all participants in international relations, which determines the relevance of the study of modern trends in the energy market and the search for optimal management methods.
Today, energy is a kind of Foundation of the economy. For countries with natural resources, energy often becomes the basis of life support. Having such a valuable product, the state can receive large revenues and have a positive GDP dynamics, without burdening itself with the costs of development of other less profitable industries. However, there are no inexhaustible resources in nature, the discovery of new deposits requires significant time and money. Meanwhile, unexpected changes in the oil market lead to a fall in its value, and as a result the economy, so successfully fed on oil revenues, falls. For many years this has been the case in Russia. The economy of the Russian Federation is directly dependent on energy policy. The scale of Russian energy exports and their contribution to the country's budget confirm the relevance of the study of the current state of the fuel and energy sector of its impact on the country's economy. Despite the fact that the government of the Russian Federation is rapidly changing the course of state policy, abandoning resource dependence and moving to the path of developed countries, an effective system of energy management is still an important criterion for the sustainability of state development.
The monograph considers theoretical approaches to the definition of the essence of the energy complex of the country, reveals the features of management and classifies the factors affecting the efficiency of the complex. And also revealed the current trends and prospects of the fuel and energy complex of the Russian Federation, and assesses the existing management system.
