The article examines the transformation processes of institutional environment that shape the development of the Russian Far East's energy sector under the global «green» energy transition. It is portrayed that the key relevant legal norms were adopted in 2020–2021; therefore, they have not yet affected the sectoral and production proportions of the energy sector. Two promising technological direc-tions are identified that form the material basis for the energy transition in Russia: power generation based on renewable energy sources (RES) and hydrogen tech-nologies. It was revealed that electricity market segments and territories highly dif-ferentiate in terms of the state support for developing RES. Shortcomings of the mechanisms of RES state support for each segment of the market and territories are identified, and their evolution over time is displayed. The development of hydrogen technologies is at the initial stage: the regulatory and legal framework has been formed, and the scientific and technological potential has been consolidated. The current development model of the energy sector of the Far East of Russia is characterized, and the conditions for its transformation against the backdrop of the global energy transition are analyzed. It has been determined that the most effective state support measures do not cover most of the territory of the Far East. As such, the prospective share of RES in the generation mix of the majority of the Far Eastern regions of the Russian Federation will not exceed 1%. Conditions for hydrogen production in the regions of the Russian Far East are analyzed and competitive advantages, barriers and threats are determined.

Development of any territorial system is the resulting dynamics of its components – in the case of the regions of the Russian Federation – its constituent municipalities. It is at this level that economic agents and residents directly come into contact with the results of state policy to create favorable conditions for doing business and comfortable living. Comparative studies of socio-economic dynamics on a municipal region make it possible to identify territories with similar development characteristics, which forms a rationale for the implementation of targeted regional policy measures in relation to specific groups of territories. The article presents an overview of publications on the issues of assessing the socio-economic development of municipalities, and substantiates a need to develop our own approach. Based on the attributes of local backwardness such as lagging behind in development from the other similar territories, stable negative economic dynamics; lack of conditions and opportunities for endogenous development, the author's methodology of comparative assessment of the level of socio-economic development of municipalities is proposed. The logic of building a system of indicators is presented, in accordance with which three areas of assessment (“the state of the economy”, “economic dynamics”, “conditions for maintaining human potential”) are identified. The selection of indicators is substantiated in the context of limited statistical data at the municipal level, and an approach for calculating integral indicators for each of the areas of assessment is given. An approach has been formed to the grouping of municipalities depending on the degree of manifestation of local backwardness. This grouping can serve as a basis for determining directions and instruments of selective regional policy for the territories with different levels of development.
