The Russian fuel-energy complex (FEC) is the basis without normal functioning of which the sustainable development of economy is made impossible; especially impressive it is revealed in the east of the country where the FEC sectors contribute most significantly to the industrial production. Besides, the diversification of the export flows of the fuel and energy resources (FER) considerably increases the role of the eastern direction in Russias economic policy. All this determines the topicality of studying the processes of FEC development in the eastern regions (Siberia and the Far East) using mathematical modelling. The purpose of investigation is to carry out an energy-economic analysis, identification of FEC development problems in the eastern regions and specifying the main ways to overcome them. The research methods are system analysis, economic and mathematic modelling and indicative methods. Results of the study: on the basis of the available statistic information the fuel-energy balances (FEB) of the Russias eastern regions have been developed, an analysis of the FEC current state has been made, the main problems of its development have been identified, the most important factors that impact the energy efficiency of economy have been determined, using the model tools the long-term FEC development forecast has been carried out. The conclusions: the current state of the eastern regions FEC allow to provide the economy with necessary quantity of FER, yet the problems exist that limit the FEC development which can hinder the economy to develop massively. It is necessary to implement the measures that provide the energy efficiency in all spheres of economic activity, as well as to change the structure of the FEB in Russias eastern regions in the direction of more rational use of the fuel and energy resources ( FER) and to scale up the introduction of of technological innovations, all this will allow to increase the energy efficiency of the economy.

The paper outlines major preconditions of development of energy efficiency programs and the process of their introduction from the perspective of sustainable development concept. Energy saving measures of European Union are examined, its experience and results, like green books and Thermie programs, etc are analyzed. The paper also specifies relevant activities and responsibilities undertaken by Member States by 2030 and the rates planned to be achieved. The experience of neighboring Poland in energy efficiency promotion is analyzed, as far as the country most closely resembles Ukraine by the initial rates in 1990. We calculated conditional losses of Ukraine in 2017 as the gap between the rates of energy efficiency of Ukraine and Poland (similarity of climate conditions and the state of housing funds allowed us to assume that the comparison will be the most correct regarding Ukraine). The results of calculations make us conclude that the funds are used most efficiently if the money designated, for example, for subsidizing of population are directed at strengthening of energy efficiency (at least up to the level of neighboring country). It will result in saving of about 40 billion. This is the amount defined as Ukrainian capacity in terms of improvement of energy saving and possible results of its realization. The paper determines the stage Ukraine is at in introduction of energy efficiency measures and programs: “warm loans” program; conditions regarding energy saving in Ukraine enshrined in the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement; creation of legal basis, namely the Law of Ukraine “On Energy Efficiency Fund” as of 8 June 2017. The role of newly created Energy Efficiency Fund is analyzed. Special attention is paid to the fact that energy efficient construction is one of international liabilities undertaken by Ukraine. The presence of The Active House Alliance at Ukrainian market is an important achievement in this sphere as it is the non-profit association aiming at creation of housing concept corresponding to the sustainable development principles.

Sustainable development is socioeconomic growth that integrates political, economic, and social measures alongside environmental protection to meet the needs of communities and citizens without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The sustainable development concept was initially based on three main pillars: environment, economy, and society. In successive years, this concept has been expanded to include new pillars. The awareness of these changes has influenced our research interests. The main research objective of this study was to evaluate the applicability of geographic information system (GIS) tools (data, tools, and multidimensional analyses) to the implementation of sustainable development principles in rural areas. The study covered rural and nonurbanized areas in Poland, especially farmland, forests, fisheries, and farms. The study presents the results of our research into environmental, economic, and social determinants of growth in the spatial dimension. GIS tools continue to evolve, which improves access to information and increases database managers’ awareness that highly accurate data are needed for spatial analyses. GIS systems allow us to formulate, in a structured and formal way, models that reflect both the current state and forecast changes that will occur in space. It is a very useful tool in the sustainable development of rural areas.

A complex of tasks that can be solved using mathematical models of the dependence of consumed energy resources on influencing factors are considered in the article. The main type of model for industrial consumers with a simple relationship between energy and technology, is the one-factor model “consumed energy resource-volume of output”. For industrial consumers with a complex relationship between energy and technology, the mathematical model of the dependence of energy resources on technology is determined by several factors. Methods for assessing the current state of energy efficiency, as well as predicting it for the future in the context of the introduction of energy saving measures and changes in the production program were proposed.
