LEGAL REGULATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY IN RUSSIA, EEU AND CIS

Abstract

The research work is relevant since renewable energy is poorly developed in the Russian Federation, and there is a need for effective legal regulation of relations in the specified area. This problem is especially acute against an active use of renewable energy sources across the globe. Hence, the paper is devoted to identification of legal regulators, which would facilitate an active development of renewable energy both in Russia and other countries that are members of EEU and CIS integration associations. The basic approach to studying the problem involves analysis of statutory regulations in the area of renewable energy in Russia and worldwide to reveal shortcomings and gain an advanced experience of legal regulation of using renewable energy sources that made it possible to substantiate a number of proposals for improving the legislation in force.
