MANAGING ENERGY SAVING AND IMPROVING ENERGY-EFFICIENCY OF THE ENTERPRISE UNDER ITS INNOVATIVE MODERNIZATION
The relevance of the problem under study is due to the need to increase the competitiveness of domestic industrial enterprises in the current world market. Managing energy efficiency programs under innovative technologies contributes to the implementation of the concept of sustainable development in practice and allows implementing capital investments to save on energy consumption, reduce environmental pressure on the environment, and increase the investment attractiveness of domestic enterprises. In the context of globalization, the tasks of managing energy saving and energy efficiency of modern organizations require attention to the problem of increasing the productivity of technological processes and reducing energy losses, and to the non-market factor for ensuring efficiency - the concept of sustainable business development. At the same time, the practice of modern management of both global and domestic business allows us to state that the problem of developing a mechanism for managing energy conservation and increasing the energy efficiency of the enterprise in the context of sustainable business development has not been fully reflected in scientific research. Moreover, the lack of a common understanding of the essence of economic categories leads to various conclusions regarding the characteristics, tools and, ultimately, the establishment of a control mechanism for any economic object. The purpose of the study is to determine the choice of ways to manage energy conservation and improve the energy efficiency of the enterprise under its innovative modernization. The authors of the study substantiated the options for constructing and optimizing energy conservation programs and improving energy efficiency of production, developed practical recommendations on the development of a mechanism for managing energy conservation and improving energy efficiency, innovative development of domestic enterprises.
Keywords: energy saving, energy efficiency, sustainable business development, competitiveness, modernization, innovative development, innovation, energy efficiency management mechanism, the concept of sustainable business development.
Highlights:
the interconnections of the concepts of “energy saving”, “energy efficiency”, “sustain-able business development” and, on this basis, ways to achieve the effectiveness of the enterprise were defined;
the author’s hypothesis was tested on the basis of a correlation analysis of indicators characterizing sustainable development, energy efficiency and energy saving in production;
the conceptual options for positioning energy saving and improving energy efficiency at the enterprise were formulated;
the tactical options of organizing energy saving programs and improving energy efficiency at enterprises under their innovative modernization were developed.
