Іdentification and evaluation of major trends of energy sector resource support in Ukraine

Abstract

The article, by analyzing of statistical information for the years 2007-2014 key trends in the national economy of Ukraine energy resources were identified. The trends of increase of energy-efficiency were identified, which is manifested in the reduction of energy consumption either in absolute terms or in approximate terms (annual costs per person and the amount of GDP per one ton of oil equivalent to the usage of energetic resources). Some changes towards diversifying of the sources of energy carriers imports were emphasized. It was determined that positive trends visibly gets offset by the overall increase in energy prices and the pretty high cost of European and American suppliers. The Russian Federation remains the dominant supplier of imported energy resources, and price parameters of Russian supplies in most cases are the most profitable.
