Importance The article deals with the problems of balance in the reproductive process and the influence of market transformations in the Russian Federation to enhance reproductive disparities. Objectives The study aimed to identify the main problems of balance of the energy source materials of the Arkhangelsk region at the present stage. The study covers the following tasks: identify the economic essence of balance, determine the causes and possible consequences of the imbalances, assess the level of balance of energy source materials of the Arkhangelsk region. Methods A methodological basis of the study were the works of Russian and foreign academic economists. Results The paper defines an economic category of balance, taking into account the statistical balance sheet, as well as selecting the objectives and the specific objects of study (national, regional economic systems, industrial complexes). The article identifies the main aspects of the balance of the regional economic system, peculiarities of its proportions. In addition, it estimates the balance of energy source materials of the region under study of Fuel and Energy Complex. The authors propose the establishment of such proportions between the individual elements of the complex, which would ensure the implementation of the commitments of the region and create conditions for a solution to the intracomplex's problems. Relevance The results obtained can be used in the diagnosis and development of a set of energy efficiency measures in the region, as well as when creating a diagnostic system that will determine the place of emerging energy imbalances and resolve them in a timely manner.
