Abstract
One of the goals of energy development in the Russian Federation is to ensure energy security, the achievement of which requires an assessment of its level. At the moment, this is complicated by the obsolescence and subjectivity of existing methods. The paper analyzes the experience of energy security assessment and presents the author’s assessment methodology at the regional level. The calculations carried out on it made it possible to distribute the regions into three clusters at three levels of security. At the same time, in general, the level of energy security of Russian regions is decreasing in 2014-2023. The developed methodology is more objective and meaningful compared to existing ones due to the inclusion of indicators that have passed through the selection mechanism, the rejection of using thresholds and taking into account all indicators with equal weights.
