Fuel and energy complex of the Arctic zone of Russia and its transport infrastructure

In modern conditions of globalization, one of the main functions of the state is to ensure the economic security of the country, which implies the development and effective use of the national resource potential, increasing the competitiveness of the country, ensuring the integrity of the territorial and economic space, creating the necessary conditions for the balanced development of national territories. The most important tasks of the modern development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation include overcoming transport and energy restrictions that impede the increase of the economic development of the Arctic, stimulating the priority development and implementation of energy-saving and energy-efficient technologies. The aim of the study is to summarize the current regulatory support for the strategic development of the fuel and energy complex and its transport infrastructure in the Arctic zone in the context of the strategic goals and objectives of the development of the Russian Arctic zone adopted at the state level. Achieving this goal led to the formulation and solution of the following tasks: to study the regulatory framework of spatial development of Russia, highlight the current trends; describe the main program goals and directions of socio-economic development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation related to priority geostrategic territories; analyze national incentive measures for the development of energy in the Arctic zone and characterize the dynamics of their financing. The solution of these problems will make it possible to understand the system of program-goal and regulatory instruments of managing the development of the fuel and energy complex of the Russian Federation that have developed over the past ten years and, in particular, its transport infrastructure. Ways for further improvement of these instruments in the existing internal and external conditions for the development of the fuel and energy complex of Russia are proposed in this study. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd
