Subject. I consider methodological issues of developing the organizational and economic mechanisms to stir up innovation in the energy sector, taking into account structural, technological and other features of the Russian fuel and energy complex and poorly predicted economic dynamics. Objectives. The aim is to elaborate a methodology for identifying adequate control actions that contribute to the modernization of the fuel and energy complex (FEC) and introduction of new energy technologies in the face of external and internal instability. Methods. The concept of methodological support to innovative mechanisms is presented as a result of analysis and synthesis of economic facilities and systems. Significant factors of energy development are viewed within the entire socio-economic system. Results. I structured fundamental stages of analysis and synthesis of the energy system to obtain realistic assessments of innovative potential and select adequate mechanisms to support innovation and modernization. I devised a conceptual model to choose control actions from the perspective of the systemic paradigm of the FEC development, unlike the Russian practice of making fragmentary and episodic organizational, economic, technological and other decisions. Conclusions. The paper presents current trends in innovation. It highlights areas of control actions that can contribute to enhancing the innovation in the sector. The systems approach to mechanisms for stirring up innovations enables to increase their viability and flexibility.
Keywords: energy system, systemic paradigm, control action
