Энергетическая составляющая в интеграционных процессах стран СНГ

Abstract

Рассмотрено роль энергетического фактора в интеграционных процесах пространства СНГ. Автор анализирует историю формирования энергетической системы постсоветского пространства и основные направления энергетической интеграции бывших Советских Республик. Исследована степень влияния энергетической конъюнктуры на общую динамику интеграционных процессов региона. Выявлены ключевые этапы становления энергетической тематики в работе интеграционных образований СНГ, ГУУАМ (ГУАМ), ЕврАзЭС. На основе анализа опыта создания общих электроэнергетических рынков определены основные направления развития единого энергетического рынка. Предложено собственное определение понятия «единый энергетический рынок». Сделан вывод о том, что энергетический фактор имеет большой интеграционный потенциал на постсоветском пространстве, но он не до конца реализуется в настоящий момент.

The role of the energy factor in the integration processes on the space of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is examined in the article. The history of the energy system formation in the former Soviet Union is analyzed by the author. The basic directions of the CIS countries activities in the field of energy are identified. The main principles for the development of the concept of forming a common electric power market are formulated. Problems and basic directions of the energy integration of former Soviet Republics are analyzed. The degree of the energy market impact on the overall dynamics of the integration processes in the region is researched. The key stages of the energy issues development by the integration structures like the CIS, GUUAM (GUAM), the Eurasian Economic Community (EurAsEC or EAEC) are identified. The main directions of the common electric power market development are identified on the basis of the analysis of the experience of creating the common electric power markets. The formation of a number of common energy markets namely the common energy market, the common market for oil and gas, common coal market, common market of uranium is proposed. The author’s own definition of the “common electric power market” is offered. It is concluded that the energy factor has a great potential for integration on the post-Soviet space, but it is not fully realized at the moment. The research on the energy component in the integration process of the CIS member countries results in the formulation of the basic problem of the common electric power market formation and development.
