The UN Commission notes that "... the energy-saving policy of
the twenty-first century is based on the use of technologies using
unconventional renewable energy ...", stressing that "... it is necessary
to constantly introduce non-traditional renewable energy" by force,

incentive and other methods ... ".
Electricity is the fastest-growing sector of fuel consumption.
According to the IEA, in developed countries almost all of the growth

is due to the generation and consumption of electricity and heat. In
developing countries, the main growth in demand is in the power
industry and industry. In the transport sector, in addition to oil, the use
of other types of fuel is increasing, but their share by the end of the

projected period will not exceed 12.5%.
The IEA World Energy Outlook 2014 study found that energy
efficiency is an "important tool" for easing energy supply and partial

mitigation of competitive price differences between energy sources
across regions. At the same time, according to the IEA, a significant
part of the potential for energy efficiency is still untapped.

The directions of energy efficiency improvement in the key
sectors of the economy (organization of management and decision
making, the degree and regulatory capacity, structure and similarity of

technical and institutional decisions) call for the adoption and
implementation of a number of programmatic measures in the sectors
of the economy: in industry; in power engineering; on transport; in the
residential sector; in agriculture, as well as the need to improve

regulatory, legislative, organizational and informational support for
energy efficiency measures.

6.4. Ukraine. The legislative and regulatory framework for
increasing the efficiency of energy resources using.

Ukraine is today the most energy-intensive country in Europe.
The low efficiency of using fuel and energy resources in the
technological processes of predominantly energy-intensive industries,

electricity and the structure of the economy makes it necessary to
maintain a high level of energy intensity of GDP in Ukraine.
