About 20 million people live in the territory where there is no centralized power supply, power supply is organized on generating systems running on imported fuel. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in studying the prospects for the development of microgrids based on the use of alternative energy generating systems of renewable energy sources using a micro-gas turbine plant as the base generator, which is the source of the reference voltage of microgrid based on single-wire resonant distribution networks of a new generation in Russia. (Materials and methods) The article presents the prospects for the development of microgrids based on material taken from open sources. Authors applied the methods of scientific analysis of events, facts, materials, and conclusions. (Results and discussions) The article shows that the world energy system evolutionarily enters a new fourth stage of fundamental transformation, called the "Energy Transition". The creation of microgrids based on renewable energy sources with a basic micro-gas turbine unit and single-wire resonant distribution networks of a new generation is an indisputable proof of this energy transition. (Conclusions) In many countries of the world, there is an increase in the share of distributed generation based on renewable energy sources, the introduction of new centralized generation capacities is reduced, investments in the construction of large power plants and new high-voltage transmission lines are reduced due to the development of distributed generation. Distributed generation contributes to the rapid expansion of electricity production without the need for additional development of the power grid infrastructure.

A large number of energy companies in the world today a faced with global transformative trends which devastatingly affect their business results. Therefore, energy companies in the world were very slow in investing and adopting renewable energy sources and become significantly overcapacitated by coal and gas fired power plants which are now unprofitabile due to low marginal costs of renewables and their priority dispatching into a power system. Also increasing the share of renewable energy sources in the structure of electricity generation, the decline in primary energy prices (fossil fuels) the stagnation of consuption and the surplus of supply in relation to electricity demand caused a drop in wholesale electricity prices by half compared to 2008. Furthemore, the operation of coal fired power plants is burdened with carbon dioxide emissions. As a result, there has been a significant reduction in revenues, falling stock values andthe collapse of credit rating of many energy companies in the world. This article analyzes the implementation of the strategy of empowering customers and shaping markets that the E.ON Group has carried out as a „response“ to global transformative trends in the energy market environment by which the former company was divided into two less dynamic and more focused companies into a new or conventional energy world. This strengthens the competitiveness of all previous business activities due to stronger focus on the development of necessary skills and process. Furthemore, from on investor perspective it has been shown that the risk profiles associated with conventional energy production differ from those related to the „new“ energy world, ie the activities covered by the business portfolio of the E.ON Group, and the activities covered by the business portfolio of the Uniper Group attract different types of investors.

The world energy consumption was about 567-578 EJ in 2017 which is still increasing – in 2017 by 2.2%, and yearly by 1.7% on average since 2006 (BP, 2018, IEA, 2018). Within this, the consumption of residential segment plays a significant role both in the EU (42%) and in Hungary (35%) as well (Eurostat, 2019). The Hungarian population spend 12.8% (35 EUR/capita/month) of their income on energy sources, and this rate is even higher in case of the pensioners, singles and those who have lower income (KSH, 2019). At the same time, the rate of renewables in the energy mix stagnates for years worldwide (14%), it is a bit higher in the EU and in Hungary than the world average (18-18%, IEA, 2018). Thus, the renewable energy sources can also have serious perspectives in the residential cost reduction, in the sustainable energy consumption and in the local income production. Our aim is to analyse the knowledge of Hungarian consumers on renewable energy sources, their willingness to apply them and the socio-demographic factors on these. To execute the research objectives, a national representative survey with 1000 people was started in April 2019 in Hungary. Based on the results of the questionnaire, it was concluded that the information of the inhabitants is below the average in case of every examined renewable energy source, which is especially true for the biomass-based energy sources. The ease is almost as important as the environment friendliness. An excessively high rate of respondents (34 and 27%) is interested in solar panels and solar collectors, 32% of them seclude themselves from the use of these energy sources. It would be justified to extend these consumer researches in the future for more countries. The authors wish to clarify how the differences in location, income status and residential segment and values influence the spread of these energy sources in the EU and by which tools could support the usage of these in the future.

The sustainable energy goals are vectors for universal access to affordable, sustainable and modern energy for all. The aim of this work is to study the structure of the world energy supply, including Russia, and the role of energy cooperatives abroad in the past and present on energy supply to agriculture and rural areas, and the possibility of applying their experience in the Russian economy. The authors used observation, abstraction, analysis and synthesis, as well as dialectical and logical methods. Having studied the data of domestic and foreign statistical institutes, the authors came to the conclusion that non-renewable energy sources make up the largest share in the world. In addition to the economical use and efficient conversion of fossil raw materials, the focus is increasingly shifting to the use of renewable energy sources that reduce dependence on oil and gas, in particular in countries that do not have their own reserves, and therefore ensure sustainable energy production. At the same time, the global energy transition to energy resources, which will be available to all, can be carried out with the help of energy cooperatives. In Russia, the capacity of renewable energy facilities is also constantly growing. The peculiarity of the country is the need to transfer energy over long distances with significant wear of transmission networks, a deep monopoly of the market, and, consequently, high tariffs for consumers. One of the ways to solve the problems of affordable energy availability for agriculture, the authors see the creation of energy cooperatives. In the article the approximate model of energy cooperative is offered, their classification is given. The results of the study will help to create competition in the energy market, optimize the budgets of the village and reduce costs in the process of commodity circulation of agricultural products to the final consumer.

Near Future

Many leading world powers are already setting ambitious goals to achieve zero CO2 emis-sions in the electric power industry through the use of renewable energy sources (RES) in the near future. In Russia, this type of generation also received state support, however, more modest, due to the low intercon-nection between Russia and renewable energy sources in terms of the state's energy security. The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the existing support for renewable energy in the Russian Federation, to assess the feasibility of building these facilities in our country, as well as to provide a scientifically substantiated proposal for alternative ways of developing the industry. The paper analyzes and summarizes the economic aspects of investment and operating activities of wind, solar and small hydropower in Russia. As a result, it was concluded that the pace of development chosen by the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation can be considered correct, but it is necessary to adjust the support program and diversify in terms of the subjectivity of the construction of new generating facilities based on RES.
