(original language – Ukrainian)
The main problems that constrain the development of energy saving in Ukraine are explored in the article. The factors which impede the proceeding of programs in energy saving efficiency and conservation were identified, such as: low motivation, lack of information, lack of experience in project financing, low level of organization and coordination of the energy efficiency improving projects. The paper analyzes the international experience of developed countries in the management of energy saving (for example, Germany and Japan). The events that contributed to the successful implementation of energy efficiency programs in these countries were analyzed. The conclusions on the necessity of borrowing of foreign experience and the impossibility of simultaneous solution of environmental problems with rational use of resources are justified in the article. Among the measures that have a significant impact on the energy efficiency of the Ukrainian economy author selected: a large-scale implementation and maintenance of accounting devices of energy resources; modernization heat supply systems of buildings; using of solid fuel, liquefied gas and alternative energy sources; promotion of energy intensive businesses to conserve energy by providing tax incentives.
