FOREIGN EXPERIENCE IN THE PRODUCTION AND USE OF ALTERNATIVE AND RENEWABLE ENERGY

Abstract

Energy is one of the key sectors of the country's economy, a strategically important sector and the foundation of the economy of any state, an important factor in the life support and national sovereignty of the country. The efficient and rational use of energy resources is one of the indicators of the level of development of the country, as the demand for them is increasing every year. The goal of the country's energy policy is to increase the efficiency of the energy infrastructure, which is focused on the growing needs of the economy and people, which in turn affects the quality of life of the population and the growth of labor productivity. In many developed countries, for several years now, the most popular renewable energy technologies have surpassed traditional technologies in terms of the volume of commissioning of new generating capacities. In OECD countries, they account for more than half of the total input, which positively affects the energy balance of countries.
