Abstract: Intensive development of agriculture in the conditions of rising energy prices is possible only with the development of energy-saving production technologies. To form energy-efficient agriculture is real only in the presence of organizational and economic methods of energy saving management. Energy saving in agriculture is the implementation of scientific, organizational, technical and technological measures aimed at rationalizing the use of energy resources (energy capacity, fuel, electricity). In agriculture, a large list of energy resources is used: self-propelled machinery (tractors, combines, transport), stationary energy capacity (equipment of livestock farms, reclamation equipment), electricity, fuel and lubricants (gasoline, diesel fuel, oil), fuel (gas, coal, peat, wood, etc.), renewable energy (solar, water, wind energy).Energy saving is a process of effective use of material and technical, fuel and energy, financial and other resources. The purpose of energy saving in agribusiness is the production of agricultural products with the best quality indicators with a minimum of total energy costs and increased economic returns. The problem of organizational and economic mechanism of energy saving has become particularly relevant in recent years. It should be noted that energy saving is not only about saving fuel and electricity, the key areas of energy saving are also reducing the need for energy capacity (machinery and equipment), reducing the energy intensity of production as a whole, the use in the production of alternative energy sources. Technical and technological modernization of agriculture has a direct impact on the energy intensity of production. The article presents a detailed analysis of the expenditure of energy resources in the agricultural sector, and analyzes the measures of state leveling the growth of energy prices.
