“…First, energysaving and energy efficiency policies are typically planned and implemented separately with no connection to policies supporting regional innovations [117]. Second, energy saving and energy efficiency policies in Russia traditionally are focused primarily on residential housing services, state-owned companies, state educational institutions and, etc., paying less attention to regional private industrial enterprises [118]. Third, Russian regions use different policies for motivating regional enterprise efforts in innovation development [119].…”

Recent literature on energy efficiency focuses on the issues of energy security and options for reducing energy consumption. Measuring energy efficiency properly and forecasting future needs is critical to the energy policies of any country, especially given the importance of sustainability in their economic development. The role innovation plays in improving energy efficiency is well researched. There is a gap in examining an opposite relationship. That is, where energy efficiency becomes a critical factor for fueling innovation. This impact can occur within a company, a region, a nation or on an international level. Here we show that regions could motivate business innovations through policies requiring energy efficiency. Based on observations from a number of regions of an emerging economy, we show that energy efficiency impacts innovation. As a side effect it can contribute to export increases, which in turn can improve regional attractiveness for investors. We believe that the spiral development of the relationship between energy efficiency and innovation used as a strategy could become sustainable.

“…However, even if we evaluate the energy-saving potential when introducing solar collectors only for food industry enterprises, we get an approximate estimate of 2,612,000 Gcal per year (detailed calculations are given in Table 5). vast majority of boiler houses (boiler room equipment) and heating grids were built more than 20-25 years ago, which means not only a low level of their technical condition but also high backwardness of existing capacities from modern analogues designed for the production and transmission of thermal energy [40,41]. The technical backwardness of the regional heat supply system has a significant impact on the energy intensity of the economy.…”

Industrial low-temperature processes are a promising sector for the introduction of solar collectors, which can partially, and in some cases, completely, replace traditional heat supply technologies. In Krasnodar Region (Russia), it is shown that the energy-saving potential when introducing industrial solar collectors only at food industry enterprises can make up 16%–17% of the total amount of thermal energy produced in the region annually. The global market of industrial solar collectors is currently developing almost without any government incentives, only due to market mechanisms, which indicates the commercial attractiveness of the technology. According to the predicted estimates, levelized cost of energy produced by industrial solar collectors in the southern regions of Russia may amount to 3.8–6.6 rubles per kWh. Even though the forecast estimates are higher than current tariffs, the economic feasibility of using solar collectors in the industry increases significantly if it is not possible to connect to centralized heating networks, as well as in the case of the seasonal load of industrial facilities. As a measure of state incentives for the development of industrial solar collectors in Russia, we offer state co-financing of demonstration projects of Russian manufacturers. This will increase the level of awareness of the population and businesses about the capabilities of this technology. Also, it will increase the technical competencies and innovative potential of companies involved in the production and installation of solar collectors.

“…The Russian Federation was faced with a conscious need to make a breakthrough in technological development and in the field of information development of society and, in particular, artificial intelligence. It is discussed how effective digital public management will be, as well as the legal aspects and possible international and social consequences of the introduction of digital technologies in the daily practice of public management [6][7][8]. Among the priority areas of state support for the development of digital economy in our country, we can highlight the use of new (digital) technologies by the public authorities of the Russian Federation aimed at improving the quality of public management.…”

The Russian Federation was faced with a conscious need to make a breakthrough in technological development and in the field of information development of society and, in particular, artificial intelligence. It is discussed how effective digital public management will be, as well as the legal aspects and possible international and social consequences of the introduction of digital technologies in the daily practice of public management [1-5]. Among the priority areas of state support for the development of digital economy in our country, we can highlight the use of new (digital) technologies by the public authorities of the Russian Federation aimed at improving the quality of public management The article discusses the possibility of using the " decision support system "DATA" for the purposes of regional management. We specify the study area as the formation of the main framework to apply the tools of a typical automated workplace of civil servants to assess the environment impact on the regional socioeconomic system in the framework of the National project "Digital economy".
