Abstract. There is an urgent problem of researching ways to improve the efficiency of energy use in enterprises. The modern development of the industry gives high priority to the use of energy-saving methods, technologies and materials in the process of modernization. One of the main reasons for this is the scarcity of energy resources, as a result of which their cost increases while the current level of consumption maintains the same. Successful renovations to improve the energy efficiency of enterprises require a systematic approach that includes the application of various methods aimed at reducing energy consumption. This is achieved through the development and use of energy efficient solutions in space-planning and design aspects, as well as through the use of energy efficient equipment and regulated energy supply systems, including non-traditional approaches. Measures to improve energy efficiency include both direct impacts on the behavior of economic entities in the field of energy saving and energy efficiency, and indirect methods that are aimed at improving the efficiency of production, transportation and use of energy resources. These measures are achieved through innovation, environmental approaches, increasing the level of manufacturability, the development of new industrial directions and other decisions related to industrial policy. This is due to the fact that “technological progress significantly affects the energy structure” . Therefore, energy efficiency measures should include not only the energy sector, but also other industries.
Key words: energy, energy saving methods, energy resources, energy efficiency, energy saving, innovations, manufacturability of production, energy intensity of technological operations, energy consumption structure.
