The purpose of the study is to develop recommendations for the creation of systemic, open, interactive data on innovative energy clusters, allowing cluster managers to build inter-cluster relationships, to assess the impact of clusters on economic development. Design/Methodology/Approach: The methodology is based on the conceptual provisions of the works of foreign and Russian scientists on the research topic. Using the methods of grouping and comparative analysis of statistical data, we analyzed the volume of electricity production and production of alternative energy in calculation on one inhabitant of the leading energy powers in the world. We also conducted a comparative analysis of databases Clustered Russia map, Cluster map of the US and European cluster maps, were studied the dynamics of the development of innovative energy clusters. Data are from the Global Energy Statistical Yearbook, government statistics, data of the Russian Cluster Observatory, the US Cluster Mapping and the European Cluster Observatory. Findings: Innovative energy clusters are mainly created on the basis of large generating and transmission energy companies. These clusters specialize in the production of bioenergy, introduce energy-saving technologies, increase energy efficiency, diversify the national energy system, and ensure the economic growth of the territories. The development of innovative energy clusters depends on the solution of a number of problems. In the study it has formulated the following ways of solving problems. Creation of an interactive cluster map that accumulates a complete database of cluster entities. Clarification of specialization groups of Russian clusters used in the course of cluster mapping, taking into account comparable groups of specializations of American and European clusters. Development of recommendations for the creation of an interactive resource of systemic, open, data on cluster formations. Practical Implications: The results and recommendations are addressed to developers of regional cluster policy, strategic planning documents, and cluster managers, and can also be used in the process of creating an interactive cluster map of Russia. Originality/Value: Recommendations were developed for the development of innovative energy clusters that ensure an increase in bioenergy production and economic growth.
The article considers foreign experience in the state spatial development strategy in concord with regional clusters, as well as the impact of clusters on the growth of economies of the states and the regions therein. The study sets the goal of identifying the opportunity to implement foreign experience in support of territorial clusters at realization of the Strategy of Spatial Development of Russia. The research is based on conceptual approaches of foreign and Russian scientists in the sphere. Particular stress is made on the specifics of strategic planning systems in the European Union member states; explicitation of the notion of ‘clusters’ and ‘cluster initiatives’; specific nature of operations of specialized cluster organizations and agencies of regional development; experience of support and development of cluster entities in the USA and Canada; actual cluster policies under the strategy of spatial development; defining the role of observatories of spatial development and the cluster observatories in Europe and the USA. The conclusion is made that the implementation of foreign experience in Russia is viable with allowance for national economic policy and with regard of ‘smart specialization’ when every Russian region with its unique resource capacity employs its own development potential. For that end it is necessary to update the regional strategies of socio-economic development, territorial planning patterns, cluster policies in line with the new Strategy of Spatial Development of Russia for the period as far as 2025; invigorate the formation of centers of cluster development in all RF member territories to interact with the regional authorities, develop regional infrastructure for cluster support and start monitoring of cluster support policies; regard the opportunities to build a network of regional observatories of spatial development at Russian flagship universities; initiate the databases integration process; proceed with forming the Russian interactive cluster map
