The Russian government has set the target of reducing energy intensity of the GDP by 40% over the period from 2007 to 2020. To solve the problem, energy conservation and increasing energy efficiency programs are implemented at the national, regional and municipal levels. The reduction in energy intensity can occur not only as a result of special measures to save energy resources, but for other reasons. The effectiveness of energy efficiency policies should be judged by such indicator which would
