This study is devoted to the use of an algorithmic approach to the development of the use of bioenergy resources. The purpose of the article is to describe the application of an algorithmic approach in the process of improving the use of bioenergy resources in the national energy conservation system. The authors characterize the stages of research on the development of the use of bioenergy resources in Uzbekistan. The proposed algorithmic approach can be applied to improve the use of bioenergy resources in the national energy conservation system. The use of an algorithmic approach makes it possible to create an information base for making sound management and technical decisions in the field of bioenergy development, to make a reasonable choice of priority bioresources at the regional and local levels; provides complexity in considering the needs for bioresources and the possibilities of meeting them.

The paper analyzes the effectiveness and efficiency of promotion of electricity generation from renewable energy sources (RES) in Latvia by looking at the economic incentives available for entrepreneurs. The main support measure for increased use of RES is the obligatory purchase mechanism (OPM) and the feed-in tariffs for electricity that is generated from RES (RES-E). The methodology for assessing the efficiency of the economic incentives for RES-E producers is set out. The paper concludes that the efficiency of economic incentives for RES-E generation in Latvia is low and need to be improved.

Economic aspects; mainly support price level for electricity produced from renewable energy sources in Latvia; is analyzed in the context of frequent legislative change. Role of renewable energy sources in electricity generation and its development in terms of business activity in Latvia is described.
