MAIN CHALLENGES OF MANAGING A FUEL AND ENERGY BALANCE

Abstract

The article reveals the main challenges of managing a fuel and energy balance. It emphasizes the importance of improving the methodological foundations for forming fuel and energy balances to preserve and manage economic security. The authors of the article study the existing foreign experience in this sphere. The article examines the energy market during a global pandemic. Problem areas in managing the fuel and energy complex are determined through the Ishikawa diagram and structured into four groups: "approaches and methods", "a monetary fuel and energy balance", "information structure" and "drawing up a fuel and energy balance". The development of methodological tools should form dynamic and flexible fuel and energy balances that can respond timely to trends both in the national and global markets of energy resources. At the same time, they should help to adapt to global trends in the development of alternative energy and include this component in their structure. The ambiguity of viewpoints on the management of a fuel and energy balance predetermines the increased interest of various parties, both representatives of academic science and government.
