Approach to indicators assessment definition of primary energy resources of fuel and energy complex of the region
The article presents an approach to the definition of indicators for evaluation of primary energy resources of a region’s fuel and energy complex, comprehensively taking into account the state of primary energy resources. The complexity of the approach development is due to the fact that all indicators applied for evaluation of primary energy resources do not exist autonomously but have a large number of interconnections. Evaluation of primary energy resources to provide a region’s fuel and energy complex development should be carried out on the basis of some complex methods application, combining quantitative analysis of the economic, social and environmental indicators and their qualitative assessment that is difficult to formalize. The article discusses the following groups of indicators for evaluation of primary energy resources: economic, technological, energy, social, environmental, and reveals their content.
