1 In accordance with the Energy Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation approved by Order of the President of the Russian Federation No. 216 of May 13, 2019, the improvement of the regulatory framework, human resource sufficiency of the fuel and energy complex organizations refer to the energy security assurance tasks.
2 The development of the human resource potential, the development of a branch system of professional qualifications and competences taking into account the priority areas of the technological development of fuel and energy complex branches are referred to the strategic tasks in accordance with the Energy Strategy of the Russian Federation for the Period until 2013 (the “Energy Strategy”).
3 Pursuant to the Energy Strategy, the fulfillment of the set strategic task in the conditions of the forecasted changes of the world economy and the economy of the Russian Federation will require an accelerated transition (the modernization breakthrough) towards a more effective, flexible and sustainable economy able to adequately face challenges and threats in its sphere and overcome the existing problems. The Energy Strategy pays much attention to the need for the improvement of the applicable statutory regulation and the development of new one, inter alia, in the breakthrough technology sphere: the digital transformation of energetics; hydrogen energetics; the use of renewable energy sources and energy accumulators; the use of unmanned and “connected” transport; the use of liquefied natural gas, etc.
4 The legal regulation in energetics affects all citizens of the country, business entities, non-profit organizations. One cannot live or engage in any activities without energy resources. The issues of uninterrupted supply of energy resources, adequate prices for energy resources, accident-free functioning of energy infrastructure are relevant for each citizen due to objective reasons. The fundamental energy law task is the support of the due energy law order. A.G. Lisitsyn-Svetlanov singles out the essential task of the legal regulation in energetics and notes that it is “…the support of the balance of interests of energy companies, the operations of which are to a great extent linked to the external market, and public interests within the country involving supply of energy to the population, viewing energy resources as national wealth. This case requires a systemic approach combining the adoption of public and private acts and the legal regulation of the balance of private and public interests. The fulfillment of these conditions is needed for the energy law to be the integration center of regulation in energetics”. [1]
5 The strategic tasks in energetics also determine the need to boost the legal research of the most acute problems of the legal regulation in various sectors of energetics. Such work needs to be performed on a systemic basis by professional top qualification legal specialists. In this respect, training of specialized top qualification legal specialists for the fuel and energy complex becomes of special relevance.
6 Today, our country has the legal framework allowing training of such specialized personnel.
7 In accordance with Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia No. 1027 of October 23, 2017, On the Approval of the Nomenclature of Scientific Specialties for which Academic Degrees are Awarded, energy law is included in the nomenclature of scientific specialties (under code 12.00.07). The name of scientific profession groups, the name of the scientific specialty are corporate law, competition law, and energy law. The name of scientific branches in which an academic degree is awarded is law.
8 Theses in energy law within the framework of the existing nomenclature of scientific specialties can now be defended at the Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL), [2] the Saint Petersburg State University. [3]
9 The training of top qualification personnel in energy law in accordance with the federal state educational standard of higher education approved by Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia No. 1538 of December 5, 2014, now takes place at the Department of Energy Law of the Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL), at the Center for Energy Law of the Saint Petersburg State Economic University.
10 The developed programs make it possible to train specialists of a high professional level able to take an active part in the development of the legal regulation in energetics, expert activities, adequately represent and protect the interests of Russian energy companies, organizations, state authorities, capable of training future lawyers in energetics using the acquired skills and competences.
11 Such legal science branch as energy law is relatively young for the Russian Federation, extensive work needs to be done and comp rehensive support of this area is needed to further develop the required infrastructure to train specialized top qualification legal specialists in energy law.
