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.

Digital technologies in the management of energy resources in the Arctic zone

DOI: 10.33917/mic-6.119.2024.71-80

The article substantiates the necessity of introducing digital technologies based on artificial intelligence in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation. According to the methodology of the World Bank, the indicators of energy production and consumption per capita are important characteristics that reflect not only the dynamics of economic development of regions, but also the quality of life of the population. This study analyzes energy production and consumption in the period from 1990 to 2023, including four regions, the territories of which are fully included in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation. The article touches upon the impact of modern technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) on energy consumption in the future, the use of predictive analytics for sustainable operation of energy systems in the Arctic. It also suggests the possibility of improving the energy efficiency of data centers in the Arctic zone, taking into account the use of natural cooling of servers.

Experience in implementing the principles of client-centricity in the regions of Russia

DOI: 10.33917/mic-3.116.2024.81-89

The relevance of the research is due to the need to transition public administration and the process of providing public functions and services to a client-centered model based on ensuring effective interaction between the state, society and business. The experience of implementing a client-centric approach in a number of regions of Russia is analyzed and the authors came to the conclusion that despite the existing standards and requirements for the implementation of a client-centric approach in state and municipal management, the regions independently determine actions to implement these requirements. Recommendations aimed at rethinking public administration and improving its effectiveness are proposed.

Sustainable development of human capital as the basis for innovative transformations of the Russian economy

DOI: 10.33917/mic-4.111.2023.73-81

Considers the sustainable development of human capital as the basis for scientific and technological transformations of the Russian economy. The importance of considering this problem is due to the fact that innovative development, ensuring the technological security of the state, directly depends on the people who are called upon to solve this problem, on the level of human capital, the bearer of which they are. The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between innovation activity and the level of human capital, to study the state of the main components of human capital, to identify problems and possible solutions. In the course of the study, general theoretical methods were used: analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction. The analysis showed that the global leaders in the field of innovation also occupy strong positions in terms of the level of human capital, and this trend is also typical for Russian regions. The study indicated the presence of a number of problems in the development of the main components of human capital, which, to a certain extent, is due to a decrease in federal budget spending on the main areas directly related to the development of human capital. A possible solution to the identified problems is proposed through the development and adoption of a comprehensive state program for the formation and development of human capital.

Arctic zone territories development and their environmental safety

DOI: 10.33917/mic-3.110.2023.59-71

The article is devoted to creating new and improving existing infrastructure in the territories of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, ensuring the year-round operation of the Northern Sea Route as a promising international main waterway. The authors analyze the liquefied natural gas production plants, ports, and railways under construction on the coast of the seas of the Arctic Ocean as these objects create opportunities for increasing the volume of maritime transport and icebreakers, as well as the speed of goods delivery to the countries of the Southeast Asia and the Pacific basin. In addition, the facilities optimizing energy supply are studied as key impacts that improve the conditions and quality of life of the population in this area. The authors analyze the fundamental documents for the development of the Arctic zone, approved by the President and the Government of the Russian Federation. The article highlights dynamics of the population, average per capita cash income from 2005 to 2021 as the main factor contributing to the population stability and the main indicators from the annual state statistical reporting, that characterize the changes in the level of atmosphere and surface water pollution and determine the level of environmental safety of the Arctic zone territories of the Russian Federation.
