Methods for assessing the potential of local strategies and programmes in the field of energy and energy efficiency in communities of Ukraine

Summary/Abstract: This paper proposes methods for assessing the potential of local strategies and pro- grammes as practical tools to evaluate their effectiveness in the fields of energy and energy efficiency. By employing these methods, local communities and spe- cific energy cities can determine the level of compliance of their strategies or pro- grammes with legislative and regulatory acts at both national and regional levels. This assessment of local strategies and programmes aims to establish an organised system and represents a significant step towards the implementation of energy effi- ciency and sustainability practices.The paper conducts an analysis of strategies and programmes in six local communities across six regions (oblasts) of Ukraine using the suggested methods. This approach allows for a comprehensive analysis of different regions in Ukraine, and the findings will be presented in the conclusions.The practical implications of the findings presented in this paper may be of interest to energy companies, local self-government authorities, utility com- panies, academia, and a broader audience concerned with energy and energy effi- ciency issues. While the methods are applied and tested using Ukrainian com- munities as examples, they serve as a valuable model that can be adapted for use in territorial units across various countries.
