Energy Strategy of the Russian Federation for the Period Up to 2050 and the Objectives of Its Legal Support

In April 2025, the Energy Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2050 was approved. This strategic planning document is important not only for the fuel and energy complex, but also for the further socio-economic development of the country as a whole. According to the Energy Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2050, the goal of developing the domestic energy complex is to achieve a qualitatively new state of energy, including a balance between: affordable and guaranteed provision of the population and the economy of the country with products and services of the fuel and energy complex with the lowest costs and effective implementation of the export potential of the Russian Federation; achieving national goals in the field of climate policy, environmental protection, energy saving and improving energy efficiency; ensuring energy security, technological sovereignty and competitiveness of the fuel and energy complex industries. The stated goals cannot be achieved without proper legal support, which, in fact, is also a strategic task for the development of the energy sector and includes not only rule-making and expert activities, but also the training of specialized highly qualified legal personnel. The article is devoted to the tasks of legal support for the energy sector in the context of daily challenges, risks and threats to energy security.
