Type: article
Abstract: This article examines the current status and prospects for implementing energy-saving and resource-efficient technologies in industry in the Samara Region. It analyzes fixed capital investment trends for 2023–2024, the structure of industrial electricity consumption, and measures to reduce energy intensity at the enterprise level, including the Samara Metallurgical Plant, the Kuibyshev and Syzran Oil Refineries, and Samaraneftegaz. It establishes that manufacturing, transportation, and mining remain the leading sectors in terms of investment. A forecast of electricity consumption and energy intensity reduction through 2030 is presented, demonstrating the potential for integrating renewable energy sources and digital energy management systems. Recommendations are developed for creating a favorable institutional, financial, and organizational environment, including legislative incentives, energy management implementation, subsidies, advanced training for specialists, digitalization of processes, and infrastructure development for alternative energy and electric mobility. The scientific novelty of the study lies in identifying the imbalance between investment growth and the insufficient effectiveness of energy conservation measures, while its practical significance lies in proposals for improving the mechanisms of state and corporate policy.
