The present article examines the problem of transformation of legal regulation in the field of energy use of waste taking into account both external and internal factors of influence. The main purpose of the article is to specify the vectors of this transformation. One of the vectors is the strengthening of energy specialization of the waste legislation. Within the framework of this issue, the innovations proposed by the draft Law of Ukraine on waste from 04.06.2020 are being considered. Special attention is given to such innovations as waste hierarchy, requirements for incineration and co-incineration of waste, as well as criterion of energy efficiency for incineration facilities. The place of particular energy operation with waste in the waste hierarchy depends on its environmental, resource-saving, energy efficient and other characteristics. The problems of legal regulation in the field of the management of waste from extractive industries with a high energy value are also studied. Another important transformation vector of legal regulation in the field of energy use of waste is a more complete reflection of waste specificity in the energy legislation. The analysis of the laws of Ukraine “On Alternative Energy Sources” and “On Alternative Fuels” shows that the specificity of waste as an energy source is not fully reflected in them. There are new approaches of the Directive (EU) 2018/2001 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources to the regulation of relations in the field of waste as a type of biomass. It is advisable to apply some of these approaches in Ukraine. It is noted that the development of legal regulation along these vectors will contribute to the harmonization of goals of the waste legislation and the energy legislation.
