ABSTRACT
The main objective of this paper is (і) to determinate the energy sector as an important part of the resource economy in conditions of increasing epidemiological risks, and (іі) to present the potential of crisis management instruments to influence and strengthen the energy sector in Ukraine. This study uses expert assessments and monographic methods (for the assessment of crisis-management instruments) graphical methods Practical measures aimed at improving and reshaping the energy sector in Ukraine are defined by means of synthesis and economic analysis; statistical and interstate comparisons are used to analyze the Spanish experience of anti-crisis management measures in the post-COVID energy sector. The study of the world electricity distribution issue shows its direct connection with the energy production source, including renewable energy use, which increased under the impact of COVID-19. The analysis of developed crisis-management systems provides the basis to propose measures to improve and reshape the energy sector in Ukraine. Thus, the results section represents findings to strengthen the energy sector, supporting crisis-management-system development in Ukraine. The study is a part of a research cycle on energy-sector development, its management and financing. The proposed measures to improve and reshape the energy sector in Ukraine can be applied to specific energy-sector projects, the optimization of investments in the energy sector, as well as being used for the modeling of complex crisis-management systems of various spheres of the economy.

Głównymi celami artykułu jest (і) określenie sektora energetycznego jako ważnej części gospodarki surowcowej w warunkach narastającego ryzyka epidemiologicznego oraz (іі) przedstawienie potencjału instrumentów zarządzania kryzysowego w zakresie oddziaływania i wzmacniania sektora energetycznego w Ukrainie. W opracowaniu wykorzystano oceny eksperckie i metody monograficzne (do oceny instrumentów zarządzania kryzysowego) metody graficzne. Praktyczne działania mające na celu poprawę i przekształcenie sektora energetycznego na Ukrainie określane są za pomocą syntezy i analizy ekonomicznej; porównania statystycznego i porównania z innymi krajami, gdzie wykorzystano analizy hiszpańskich doświadczeń w zakresie środków zarządzania kryzysowego w sektorze energetycznym po COVID. Badanie problematyki dystrybucji energii elektrycznej na świecie pokazuje jej bezpośrednie powiązanie ze źródłami wytwarzania energii, w tym z wykorzystaniem energii odnawialnej, które nasiliło się pod wpływem COVID-19. Analiza wypracowanych systemów zarządzania kryzysowego daje podstawę do zaproponowania działań na rzecz poprawy i przekształcenia sektora energetycznego w Ukrainie. W związku z tym w części dotyczącej wyników przedstawiono wnioski mające na celu wzmocnienie sektora energetycznego w Ukrainie poprzez wsparcie rozwoju systemu zarządzaniem kryzysowym. Studium jest częścią cyklu badawczego dotyczącego rozwoju sektora energetycznego, jego zarządzania i finansowania. Proponowane środki poprawy i przekształcenia sektora energetycznego w Ukrainie mogą być zastosowane do konkretnych projektów energetycznych, optymalizacji inwestycji w sektorze energetycznym, a także do modelowania złożonych systemów zarządzania kryzysowego w różnych sferach gospodarki.
