Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy policy is the way in which a given organization, government, industrial group, or business structure addresses issues of energy production, distribution, consumption, and research and development. Modern challenges in energy policy require an integrated approach to energy resource management and in-depth economic research, which contributes to the development of effective solutions for the sustainable development of the energy sector. These issues are becoming particularly relevant in the context of global changes, the growing demand for renewable energy sources, and the increasing digitalization of the sector.
The Special Issue focuses on key aspects of energy policy, energy system management, and economic models that play important roles in ensuring the sustainable development of the global energy sector.
Energy policy is a set of strategies and decisions adopted by governments, industrial groups, and business entities to regulate energy production, distribution, and consumption. It covers a wide range of topics, ranging from research and development to the creation of effective market mechanisms and institutions. In the context of globalization and environmental threats, the tasks of energy policy are becoming increasingly important to ensure the stability, security, and competitiveness of national economies.
This Special Issue will create a platform for discussing the latest developments in energy policy, management, and economics. We will cover current and promising issues of theory and practice related to energy resource management, energy system efficiency, and the social and economic components of energy policy. The inclusion of diverse approaches will allow for a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the energy sector in the 21st century.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Global and regional trends in energy policy;
- State and market mechanisms of energy regulation;
- Economic growth, energy efficiency and sustainable development;
- Innovations in the energy sector and it industries: technologies, economics and management;
- The use of digital technologies in energy management;
- Solving financial problems in global and regional energy markets;
- Energy security: challenges and strategies;
- Human resource management in the aspect of energy conservation: training, recruitment, and the development of specialists.
