PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION MECHANISMS FOR REFORMING FUEL AND ENERGY COMPLEX OF UKRAINE

Abstract

In the near future, the entire scientific and energy community around the world will study the challenges currently faced by the united energy system of Ukraine and the way the public administration mechanisms in the state’s fuel and energy complex respond to them. The consequences and implication of military actions for the state's energy system will become a vital step towards reforming the future post-war fuel and energy complex of Ukraine. The main purpose of the research is studying the evolution of mechanisms of public administration in the fuel and energy complex of Ukraine, primarily in the processes of reformation, transformation and modernization in different adaptive conditions of historical development, taking into account the unique management system of this industry, in the context of future sustainable development of the energy sector in the form of initiating and developing modern regulatory acts aimed at implementing a set of actions in the system of energy development of the state as a whole. Methodology. The research illustrates key indicators and historical and transformational processes in the establishment and evolution of the main industries (branches) of the fuel and energy complex of Ukraine, such as: coal mining, oil and electricity industries, renewable energy and nuclear industry. The key mechanisms of public administration of the unified energy system of Ukraine during the historical formation of the system are studied, as well as the functioning of the modern central mechanism of system management. Additionally, the impact of various factors on the mechanisms of public administration for reforming the fuel and energy complex of Ukraine is examined. The scientific innovation of the research is to propose a unified mechanism for public administration of the fuel and energy complex of Ukraine, that will function in the crisis situations, based on various research methods aimed at bringing the unified energy system of the state to a constantly balanced operation mode while ensuring a dynamic mechanism for energy security of Ukraine. Conclusions. The results of the study suggest that post-war energy system of Ukraine will need to reform and transform certain outdated energy industries and, if need be, completely replace them with new technology energy branches in order to strengthen the system of the state’s unified energy balance.
