Abstract: Planetary recognition of the concept of sustainable development is forcing humanity to change its economic model. As a result of the inevitable embedding of the green agenda into business models, the need for a large-scale energy transition arises. The driver of economic growth should be the development of the non-oil and gas sector of the economy with the widespread use and production of low-carbon technologies. Today, the energy transition to carbon neutrality is becoming not only a problem for a single industry, but is being built into the national security “agenda” of the entire country. In contrast to the need to increase labor productivity, which was prioritized when solving the problems of ensuring the country’s energy security earlier, the task of today’s energy transition is to combat the consequences of climate change. Along with this, it is necessary to note the impossibility of a one-time abandonment of traditional energy sources, which is due to the instability of natural conditions throughout the territory of the Russian Federation; high mono-dependence of individual regions on the production of traditional energy resources; the requirement to change the legislative regulation of various sectors of the economy directly related to energy; the need to increase competencies in managing an energy system with a high share of renewable energy sources.
