Energy strategy the Russian: vested…interests of the resource territories

The paper examines problems of conciliating the objectives and interests between the main participants in the energy strategy process, that is between the Federation, resource regions and economic operators. The marketability of the hydrocarbon outputs set out in the energy strategy out to 2020 for the major gas extracting region of the country, that is for the Yamal-Nenets autonomous district has been estimated. The analysis of the results has shown that under continuation of the present tendencies and conditions of development in the oil and gas sector (in the system of taxation, price setting, funding the preparatory works on the reserves etc.) the rates of hydrocarbon output growth come into disagreement with social and economic interests of the YNAO. This, in turn, jeopardises the fulfilment of the energy strategy requirements aimed at the national energy security.
