TYPOLOGY OF MUNICIPAL ENTERPRISES IN THE CONTEXT OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Introduction. The article "Typology of Municipal Enterprises in the Context of Energy Management" delves into the pivotal role of classifying municipal enterprises for optimizing energy resource utilization, ecological considerations, and cost efficiency. It underscores the growing importance of energy efficiency and highlights that a nuanced understanding and appropriate typology are essential for operational optimization. The paper explores contemporary approaches to classification, reflecting on their significance in regional development and how energy management influences effectiveness. Introducing an innovative classification considering revenue generation methods, activity types, and social components, the research emphasizes the need for an integrated approach to energy management in municipal entities. Tailored to their unique characteristics, this approach enhances energy resource utilization and fosters sustainable development. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to identify and detail the types of municipal enterprises in the context of forming and operating an energy management system. Methods. The study meticulously analyzes existing methodologies for categorizing such enterprises, considering their contribution to economic stability and environmental well-being. By advocating for a tailored approach, the article emphasizes the potential for municipal entities to significantly improve their energy efficiency, reduce ecological footprints, and contribute to sustainable development goals. The findings highlight the interconnectedness of typology, energy management, and sustainability, proposing actionable insights for policymakers and municipal administrators to foster more efficient and cost-effective operations within the municipal sector. Results. The specificity of energy management in municipal enterprises underscores the importance of adapted typological approaches, particularly for the effective use of energy resources, reducing environmental impact, and optimizing costs in the face of global challenges. Typologization based on energy efficiency criteria plays a key role in developing effective energy management systems that take into account the specificities of activities, financing, and the needs for energy conservation depending on the type of municipal enterprise. Conclusion. This requires a comprehensive approach that combines an understanding of economic, social, and technological aspects and considers consumer needs to ensure sustainable development and high energy efficiency in the future.
