The mechanism of implementation of projects for the modernization of local energy systems within the framework of corporate social responsibility of mining enterprises of the Far North

DOI: 10.33917/mic-6.119.2024.81-93

The authors analyzed the features of the functioning of diesel power plants in the decentralized regions of Yakutia and justified the need for their modernization using energy storage systems that optimize operating modes and reduce fuel consumption. A model of multilateral partnership is proposed, which includes three key elements: a Coordinating Council, a Project office and a Public Supervisory Board. A comprehensive system of socio-economic criteria for the selection of projects has been developed. The financial mechanism based on the creation of the energy development fund of the Far North, formed at the expense of contributions from mining enterprises and co-financing from regional authorities, is presented. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of a mechanism for integrating projects for the modernization of local energy systems into the structure of corporate social responsibility strategies of extractive enterprises, which ensures sustainable financing and implementation of projects. The results of the study can be used in the implementation of energy projects in other regions.
