The article deals with the main trends in the output (production) of energy sources and energy in Siberia both within the boundaries of the Siberian Federal District and within the vast territory between the Urals and the Far East. According to the authors, Siberia in the foreseeable future (for a period of up to 50 years) has stable prospects to maintain its position as a leading macroregion producer and supplier of energy, both electric and primary energy sources such as oil, gas, coal. At the same time, ensuring the sustainable operation of energy resources and electricity development and production is increasingly associated with the development of science, development of new technologies at all stages from searching and exploration to production and distribution. Among the main reasons one can name qualitative change in production technologies (output) (among them – «smart» network, hydrofracturing, liquefaction of gas, environmental requirements and related changes), and the characteristics of energy sources and energy production. According to the authors, these changes in a new way raise issues of connection with science – not only the creation of technologies, but also the inclusion of research activities in the main production cycle (it is impossible to develop universal solutions that meet the expanding range of conditions and requirements). In turn, these changes in a new way raise the issues of interaction of economic agents in the production (output) of energy and energy sources and its distribution. Changing such interactions involves a more thorough and precise adjustment of the institutional environment (rules, regulations and organizations associated with them). The trends mentioned in the article form the basis for the developed plan of Siberian branch of RAS strategic development in the context of support of Siberian socio-economic development.
