Russia’s Economic Interests in the Realization of Perspective Infrastructure Projects in Energetics in East Asia

Purpose. The purpose of the article is feasibility study of transformation’s mechanisms of management of Russian fuel and energy complex (FEC) for elimination of risks and threats to national economic interests for our country, which were manifested in the period of falling oil prices and the introduction of anti-Russian economic and political sanctions.Methodology. In this article were used general scientific and special methods, including methods of system and economic analysis. Using the analytical methodology, there were investigated the main components of the protection of economic interests of Russia, during realization of perspective infrastructure projects in energetics in East Asia in the circumstances of critical economic and financial instability.Results. It is substantiated the expedience and the basic steps for creating an Asian energetic grid as a promising infrastructure project in energetics aimed at global redistribution of value added on the basis of energy supply by Russia of the cluster of key East Asian countries. It is proved that the concept of formation of an Asian energetic grid must be based on the strategic role of Russia as the guarantor of the energy security of the cluster of key East Asian countries, through the supply of a package of key Russian fuel and energy resources (electricity, gas, oil, coal, etc.). This will allow for a significant increase in mutual trade through integration of energetic systems of Russia, China, South Korea and Japan.Conclusions. There are suggested approaches to the justification of the ways of protecting the economic interests of our country in respect of the FEC of Russia, including: national concentration of management of energy resources’ export flows (delivery distribution, volumes of extraction, transportation, terms of payment, etc.); intercorporate coordination of measures on development, reconstruction and modernization of fuel and energy infrastructure; formation of qualitatively new infrastructure of the wholesale and retail markets of fuel and energy resources (FER); go to create overseas mechanism of energy hub management in respect of the supply and transportation of Russian energy resources; refinement of measures of coordination and work of the profit centers, corporate financial centers, centers of concentration of property’s ownership and financial assets and management for major energy corporations of Russia, including their subsidiaries and affiliates abroad, etc.Sphere of app
