The Impact of Renewable Energy Sources on Energy Security

The article examines the content of energy security, which is an important basis for the state in implementing its energy policy. Advances in technology, climate change and environmental issues are leading to fundamental transformations in global politics and energy. Consumption tradition energy sources (oil and gas, coal) is grad-ually being replaced by renewable energy sources (RES). Today, as the calls are growing in many countries for an accelerated transition for widespread use of new energy sources, data shows that energy demand has been growing in recent years. This means that traditional energy sources are expected to maintain their dominant role over the next two decades. The author notes that the new energy transition is accompanied by the desire of hydrocarbon importers to reduce energy dependence on supplier countries, the desire of leading states to find new sources of economic growth, as well as a revision of the content of energy security in the context of in-creasing strategic competition.
