Analysis of Russian energy saving potential and experience of implementation of energy efficiency policy in Russia at the present stage showed that the domestic economy has considerable potential energy savings, but their implementation requires intensifying the activities of the State in this area, particularly with regard to overcoming the identified reasons for the low efficiency of national economy. Government activities in the field of energy saving and energy efficiency in Russia was initiated in 2008 and a significant legal and regulatory framework was developed as a basis for it, however, despite the positive examples, the objectives set for energy intensity reduction are not being met, and the overall level of implementation of government interventions in energy efficiency in industries is insufficient. This paper proposes the author's approach to Russian energy efficiency strategy, which, based on international experience, sets out priorities for improving the energy efficiency policies.
