- Abstract
The efficiency of using energy resources is a prerequisite for ensuring competitive, sustainable and safe economic development at the federal, regional and subregional levels. Increasing the energy efficiency of the national economy is a priority area of the state economic policy of Russia. However, the national system of information and analytical support of energy efficiency policy is still at the initial stage of development. The development of tools for analyzing the performance of this policy is an important national economic task and an urgent scientific problem. The present paper outlines the condition and prospects of developing the tools for monitoring the performance of energy efficiency policy at the regional and subregional levels. The annual rankings of energy efficiency of the Volgograd region's municipalities are drawn up on the basis of the Volgogradstat data on energy consumption indicators for 2012-2016 in the budget sector and in the housing fund. We analyze the dynamics of relative energy efficiency levels, and reveal the most advanced and the most lagging municipalities. We argue that ensuring the completeness, transparency and verifiability of data on the introduction of advanced energy-efficient technologies to housing and utilities sector and to the budget sector requires the inclusion of these data in the list of indicators used in the ranking of municipalities.
