The aim of the article is to analyze the current energy policy of Ukraine and systematize ways to increase its efficiency within the concept of transition to a carbon-neutral economy, the state of the energy sector in Ukraine and develop theoretical recommendations in the context of sustainable development. One of the main tasks of national security is to develop the efficient functioning of the energy system. Energy security is a strategic component of national security, which aims to ensure the stable implementation of sustainable socio-ecological and economic development of the country. It is necessary to note the main problematic areas of energy security development: inefficient use of fuel and energy resources, low level of energy saving and energy efficiency, high dependence of the country on monopolists of fuel and energy structures, unstable and shadow form of tariff formation. In recent decades, Ukraine has accumulated a large number of problems that need to be addressed quickly using an integrated approach. Ukraine has supported the European Green Deal, and has set a course for the development of a carbon-free economy, which results in a complete reset and reshaping of the energy sector. This vector of development is followed by the reform of all structural elements of the country and re-profiling to a new (environmental) level. The article the bibliographic analysis of the researched problem concerning modernization of energy sector and directions of development of energy policy as a structural link of national security is carried out, identifies the main problems of sustainability of national energy policy, analyzes the indicators of energy trilemma (energy security, energy availability, environmental sustainability), presents recommendations on the prospects of energy development and preservation of energy, environmental and economic security. Prospects for further development of the study are to develop clear points for improving the work of the energy sector, taking into account the time frame and priorities of development, which will ensure the efficient operation of all sectors of the economy.
