The aim of the paper was to investigate the normative and theoretical definitions of the concept of “energy efficiency” and related concepts, identify the components of alternative energy sources, propose a direction for ensuring energy efficiency in Ukraine and provide recommendations to the legislator on certain means of supporting the development of alternative energy sources and increasing the level of “energy efficiency”. Results. The paper analyzes and, using other methods, evaluates the provisions of the laws of Ukraine “On Energy Efficiency”, “On the Energy Efficiency Fund”, “On the Electricity Market”, “On Alternative Energy Sources”, in particular in terms of defining energy efficiency, energy, principles of a thrifty attitude to energy use, the Energy Efficiency Fund, traditional and alternative energy sources, etc. The emphasis is on the fact that energy efficiency involves obtaining not only electricity, but also other types of energy. Such energy is an object of purchase and sale. It is shown that renewable energy sources and secondary energy resources are two components of alternative classical energy sources. The methods and means of stimulating the production (generation) of energy from alternative sources by the state, in particular the establishment and application of a “green” tariff, are analyzed. Alternative energy sources include renewable energy sources (innovative part) and secondary energy resources (investment part). In the current realities of martial law and threats to the Ukrainian energy sector, the state is proposed to more widely apply mechanisms for stimulating the development of small economic entities in the field of energy generation from alternative sources: to apply “green” tariffs, tax breaks, known in practice for several years, as well as to apply “green” certificates, compensations, investment grants, subsidies, low-interest loans, surcharges to the price of electricity generated from alternative sources, quotas for the production (consumption) of electricity from renewable energy sources and the application of penalties for failure to fulfill the established obligations, heterogeneous tenders, etc.
