Results - review of foreign and domestic literature from the position of modern achievements in agro-industrial production and energy on the example of economically developed countries; reflected the issues of modern development of the agrarian industry of the republic on the basis of the analysis of gross output of agricultural products and goods; showed the level of regional economy of the country, analyzed the consumption of electricity in rural areas from 2015 to 2024; assessed the coverage of the spread of renewable energy resources, which over the past 11 years. Suggestions for the need to increase the generation of the electric system are justified. Conclusions - a positive relationship between the rate of capacity building in the agro-industrial complex and the introduction of energy saving processes based on increasing productivity in the agricultural sector has been established; the use of energy saving sources stimulates the development of rural areas and the improvement of social conditions of agricultural producers.
