The development of energy has a decisive impact on the state of the economy in the country and the living standards of the population. The goal of the welfare state, which according to the constitution is Ukraine, should be to provide conditions for increasing the welfare of citizens. One of the most important components of well-being in civilized countries is to provide citizens and companies with the necessary energy resources. The key to achieving this goal should be a reliable, economically sound, and environmentally safe satisfaction of the needs of the population and the economy in energy products.
