Based on the analysis authors concluded that the impossibility of calculating them due to lack of the necessary raw data of the state statistical basis. The necessity of the development of system energy efficienc, allowing for an assessment of the level according to the official statistics of energy consumption. 46 indicators were selected on the basis of the principles of accessibility, consistency, completeness, consistency and comparability. Significant fluctuations in these indicators by Federal subjects indicate the need for a differentiated approach to the generated energy conservation policy and energy efficiency regions. Three groups of similar energy efficiency indicators of the regions were identified on the basis of cluster analysis.
