For many years, the future of energy has been one of the most important problems and challenges for both national and global policy making. It is related to the high responsibility of the energy sector for climate change on Earth, but also for caring about ensuring sufficient energy for the future generations. Thus, energy policy is an important pillar of maintaining, broadly understood as internal security of the country. The biggest challenge related to ensuring energy security of the European Union is the diversification of energy sources. Member States are trying to tackle this challenge in two ways. Firstly, through the development of renewable energy, and secondly, looking for new channels for the supply of non-renewable energy. The restructuring of the energy sector, which has taken place in recent years, in accordance with the guidelines of the European Union, aims to intensify the use of environmentally friendly renewable energy sources. Equally important is the construction of the Nord Stream 2 and Turk Steam gas pipelines, which has been ongoing for several years, which raises much controversy in the Member States. The article is an analysis of the opportunities and challenges facing the European Union related to ensuring stable energy supplies to European citizens.

The paper is devoted to the standing Scientific Workshop “Methodological problems in research on reliability of large energy systems”, which was organized in 1973 in Irkutsk at the Siberian Energy Institute of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences as a nation-wide workshop. Nowadays it is the International Scientific Workshop named after Academician Yu. N. Rudenko, which is well known in the community of scientists and experts in the energy sector of Russia, the former Soviet republics and other countries. Energy systems (ES) — those based on electricity, gas, oil and oil products, heat, etc., though diverse in terms of their physical nature, structural properties and specifics of functioning, have a certain commonality in the processes of production, transportation, distribution and storage of energy resources. Moreover, the interconnections and interdependence of energy systems within the fuel and energy sector, especially in emergency conditions, make it possible, at a necessary level of abstraction, to use identical techniques and methods of research, and ensure their reliability. All this allowed Yu. N. Rudenko, the organizer of the scientific workshop, to assign the workshop with its cross-sectoral status. In 2018, the workshop celebrated its 45-year anniversary; the workshop had come to the date as a recognized and highly respected international intellectual platform for discussing and solving urgent issues of reliability of energy systems, crosssectoral problems of studying and ensuring reliability and energy security. The paper presents a wide range of problems of ES reliability considered at the workshop sessions, as well as the results of solving the same. Special attention is paid to works initiated by the workshop and fulfilled using the results of studies of the workshop on unification of terminology in reliability of ES and energy security, the development of a concept of reliability in power industry and interstate technology reliability standards harmonized with international standards. The workshop continues to function successfully owing to its activities related to the integration and development of knowledge in the field of reliability of energy systems and energy security.

The aim of the article is to analyze the current energy policy of Ukraine and systematize ways to increase its efficiency within the concept of transition to a carbon-neutral economy, the state of the energy sector in Ukraine and develop theoretical recommendations in the context of sustainable development. One of the main tasks of national security is to develop the efficient functioning of the energy system. Energy security is a strategic component of national security, which aims to ensure the stable implementation of sustainable socio-ecological and economic development of the country. It is necessary to note the main problematic areas of energy security development: inefficient use of fuel and energy resources, low level of energy saving and energy efficiency, high dependence of the country on monopolists of fuel and energy structures, unstable and shadow form of tariff formation. In recent decades, Ukraine has accumulated a large number of problems that need to be addressed quickly using an integrated approach. Ukraine has supported the European Green Deal, and has set a course for the development of a carbon-free economy, which results in a complete reset and reshaping of the energy sector. This vector of development is followed by the reform of all structural elements of the country and re-profiling to a new (environmental) level. The article the bibliographic analysis of the researched problem concerning modernization of energy sector and directions of development of energy policy as a structural link of national security is carried out, identifies the main problems of sustainability of national energy policy, analyzes the indicators of energy trilemma (energy security, energy availability, environmental sustainability), presents recommendations on the prospects of energy development and preservation of energy, environmental and economic security. Prospects for further development of the study are to develop clear points for improving the work of the energy sector, taking into account the time frame and priorities of development, which will ensure the efficient operation of all sectors of the economy.

Energy security has long been a main driver of energy policies, but its meaning has been contested by policy makers and scholars. The concept incorporates both material and intersubjective aspects, finding different expressions in different contexts and attracting the interest of diverse social actors and academic communities. This chapter identifies, compares, and contrasts five major approaches for analyzing energy security rooted in different scholarly traditions. It argues that in order to facilitate a dialogue among these approaches as well as policy comparison and learning, it is useful to conceptualize energy security as “low vulnerability of vital energy systems.” This definition opens avenues for productive research, unpacking the interplay between material and intersubjective aspects of “vulnerability” and “vitality” of energy systems. Future research should investigate the role of material factors alongside power, values, and trust in defining energy security; explain the gap between energy securitization and action; and explore the interaction between energy security and other energy policy goals.
