To ensure the national interests of Ukraine in the sustainable development of the economy, civil society and the state; in order to achieve growth in the standard and quality of life of the population, respect for the constitutional rights and freedoms of the individual and citizen, on September 30, 2019, the President of Ukraine signed the Decree «On the Sustainable Development Goals of Ukraine for the Period up to 2030». One of the seventeen goals of Ukraine’s sustainable development for the period up to 2030 was «ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy sources for all». The stated goal of sustainable development of Ukraine for the period until 2030 should be a benchmark for determining the directions of improvement of the state energy policy of Ukraine in the context of the development of relevant draft forecast and program documents, draft legislative and regulatory acts in order to ensure a balanced sustainable development of the energy sector of Ukraine. The purpose of the study is to determine the directions of improvement of mechanisms of realization of the state energy policy of Ukraine in the current conditions. In order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the state energy policy, it is advisable to:- increase of natural gas, oil, shale gas, coal (methane) gas production;- creation of minimum reserves of oil and petroleum products, taking into account the requirements of the European Union for the creation and maintenance of such reserves;- protection of national interests, ensuring equal opportunities for the use of subsoil, open auctions for the sale of special permits for the use of subsoil, transparency of the state monitoring system for the use and protection of subsoil, strengthening control and accountability for violations of requirements in the field of subsoil use;- ensuring energy sustainability of Ukraine;- annual approval of Ukraine’s forecast fuel and energy balance;- introduction of mechanisms to promote energy efficiency and economical use of energy resources by all categories of energy consumers;- regulation of the issue of determining the volume of creation of the natural gas insurance reserve for 2020;- transition to natural gas payments for energy;- preserving the transit of natural gas and increasing its volumes through the gas transmission system of Ukraine;- repayment of arrears and payment of salaries to employees of state-owned coal-mining enterprises, preventing such arrears in the future;- diversification of sources and routes of supply of oil, petroleum products, natural and liquefied gas, coal of anthracite grades, providing for supply from one source not more than 30 percent of total volumes of supply;- Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine to investigate, in accordance with the established procedure, violations of the requirements of the legislation on protection of economic competition by economic entities operating in the energy markets, and take appropriate response measures.To form a competitive electricity market on a long-term basis, the following strategic steps should be implemented:- raise tariffs for the population to an economically sound level and eliminate the cross-subsidy system;- to conduct auctions for the construction of RES and high maneuver sources to balance the grid;- launch a fully competitive electricity market in Ukraine with minimal administrative interference in pricing processes;- to integrate the Ukrainian grid with the European ENTSO-E and to ensure the possibility of export-import flows.Conclusions from this research and perspectives of future development in current area. Thus, the study of the efficiency and effectiveness of the state energy policy and the level of development of the energy sector of the country in modern conditions testifies to the need for its further comprehensive reform. It is advisable to implement the improvement of the state energy policy of Ukraine by separate mechanisms: political-administrative, legislative-regulatory, financial-economic, social-communication. Within these mechanisms, it is necessary to develop and implement tools for solving these problems and contradictions in the processes of reforming the energy sector, taking into account the processes of European integration of Ukraine.

Implementation of strategic tasks of energy sector development, implementation of large-scale measures for technical renewal and modernization of fixed assets, as well as consistent implementation of competitive relations in the fuel and energy complex and adjacent energy markets are significantly complicated due to the imperfection of the state tariff and tariff, the lack of objective methodological approaches to the determination of economically justified level of prices and tariffs for energy for different categories of consumers. Recent research and publications analysis. Scientists such as Baryakhtar V., Voloshin О., Kilnitsky O., Kuhar V., Maistro S., Palshin G. and others have devoted their publications to the analysis of existing problems and contradictions of the implementation of the state energy policy of Ukraine in the current conditions. However, many issues regarding the problematic aspects of energy sector development and the effectiveness of Ukraine’s state energy policy implementation remain poorly understood. The purpose of the study is to analyze the existing problems and contradictions of the implementation of the state energy policy of Ukraine in the current conditions. In a market economy, energy prices in the domestic market must be economically justified, that is, reflect the real costs of its purchase (production), transportation and delivery. In addition, the World Bank adheres to the need to build the most transparent energy market in Ukraine, including bringing prices to an economically sound level. Carrying out a real pricing reform in the energy sector will have a positive effect on improving the competitiveness of the Ukrainian economy in the long run.

The article deals with definition and national security of Ukraine at the present stage of formation of the state as one of the vectors of the Sustainable Development Strategy. The authors have identified and substantiated new views on the methodology of national security and ways to ensure under the Strategy of Sustainable Development of the country. On the basis of the conducted researches the conclusions concerning definition of national security of Ukraine and ways of its maintenance have been made. According to the authors’ approach, national security has been defined as a dynamic component of the strategic development of the state, the purpose of which is to ensure the security of the state, business and citizens, security of investment and private property, peace and border protection. The main structural elements of security are: institutional security, security of the regulatory subsystem, security of the functional-communicative subsystem and spiritual and ideological security. The interests or goals that need to be achieved on the path of development are considered as a constant value, and the threats are dynamic and change depending on the way of choosing to achieve interests. The basis of Ukraine's national security is the national interest, which is a set of internal and external needs of the state in ensuring the security and progressive development of the individual, society and the state. The bearer of the national interests of the state is the Ukrainian people. National interests are achieved through the execution of public administration in the security process.

The article is aimed at developing strategic directions and introducing regulatory measures for the formation of Ukraine’s energy policy on the principles of energy saving and the development of renewable energy industry. On the basis of scientific works, the main organizational-economic vectors of energy industry sector development are systematized, which are associated with the formation of a favorable socio-political climate regarding the priority of using renewable energy sources in the fuel and energy complex; development of effective methods of both the State-based and the market-based regulation by the world community; coordination of the strategy of sustainable development of the world economy. It is determined that the energy saving policy should be based on a flexible combination of the State-based regulation and the market environment for the formation of the most acceptable stimulation mechanisms in the specific economic and political situations, which allows for the greatest economic benefit. It has been found out that the implementation of energy saving processes is impossible without the mass use of renewable energy carriers, which are a universal resource for processing to the right types of energy, are marked by energy independence related to obtaining economic benefits and contribute to the creation of an ecological friendly environment. In the perspective, the energy saving processes, the transition of the national economy to wide implementation in the production of high-tech technologies and the use of renewable energy sources should become the determining factors of Ukraine’s energy strategy.
