Summary:

The article investigates the features of energy reforms, that based on the use of «smart technologies». Such reforms based on the principles of regulation, privatization, restructuring and competition have been analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of energy reforms have been identified in the articles. The main problems of reforms in the energy sector in developing countries are highlighted. Thus, the challenges of implementing of reforms in the energy sector of developing countries include: political challenges; the need to take into account the initial conditions of operation of the energy sector; identifying individual approaches, methods, tools and technologies in the process of implementing energy reforms for individual territories; realization of the target tasks. An analysis of the goals, objectives and benefits of Ukraine's energy strategy until 2035 was conducted. The study substantiates the importance of implementing of «smart» technologies in the energy sector. The most popular innovative energy saving technologies are described. Particular attention is paid to smart-grid technologies.

It has been proven that «smart» technologies have made a positive contribution from the economic and social spheres, which have been generally achieved in order to achieve targeted development and to exist in other spheres.

The paper argues that «smart» technologies are positively linked to economic and social sustainability, aimed at achieving the goals of sustainable development and environmental protection.

It is proposed to take into account the synergistic effects of the use of «smart» technologies in three-dimensional format: environmental, social and economic effects.

As a synergistic effect of the introduction of "smart" technologies in energy reforms is expected to increase the level of socio-ecological-economic development; scale effect, integration effect, integrated benefits effect, conglomerate effect; synergies with other infrastructures.

Keywords:
energy reforms, smart technologies, energy strategy of Ukraine, smart grid, synergistic effect.
