THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF THE FORMATION OF A COMPLEX OF ENERGY SAVING MEASURES AT INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES

The article researches scientific approaches to revealing the content of the “energy saving” category. The main theoretical aspects of energy saving are considered and various approaches to its interpretation in the scientific literature are analyzed. The differences and relationship between the concepts of “energy saving” and “energy efficiency”, which are important for understanding the specifics of energy processes at enterprises, are highlighted separately. In particular, it is substantiated that energy saving includes measures aimed at reducing the consumption of energy resources, while energy efficiency involves optimizing their use. On the basis of the conducted analysis, the author’s definition of the category “energy saving” at the enterprise was formulated, which takes into account the specifics of modern production and technological processes. The main approaches to energy consumption management, including the implementation of energyefficient technologies and energy management systems, are considered. Special attention is paid to the analysis of factors that affect energy saving, such as technological modernization, introduction of renewable energy sources and rational use of natural resources. The role of state policy and international standards in stimulating energy efficiency at enterprises is highlighted. The author emphasizes the importance of an integrated approach to the development of energy saving strategies, which contributes to increasing the competitiveness of enterprises and reducing their environmental impact. The article examines the theoretical aspects of forming a complex of energy-saving measures at industrial enterprises. The main principles and approaches to the development of energy-saving strategies, as well as factors affecting the effectiveness of their implementation, are considered. Special attention is paid to the analysis of modern technologies and innovations that contribute to the reduction of energy consumption in production processes. Methodical approaches to evaluating the effectiveness of implemented energy-saving measures are proposed, which take into account technical, economic and environmental aspects, and are also aimed at optimizing resources, reducing energy consumption and minimizing the impact on the environment. The results of the research can be used to increase the energy efficiency of enterprises and reduce their impact on the environment.
