Aim. The place of residential energy consumption in the overall structure of final energy consumption in the country is determined and its regional differentiation is presented. Methodology. The state statistics on the consumption of certain types of utilities (heating, hot water supply, natural and liquefied gas supply, solid fuel supply) are analyzed and general economic data from Russian regions in 2017 are presented. Results. Large bodies of statistical data are generalized, the scale of consumption of various types of energy resources in the residential sector of Russia is described, and regional differentiation and specific indicators of energy consumption differentiation are presented. Reporting statistical information of individual consumers is compared with the comprehensive survey data on living conditions in the regions of Russia. Research implications. The analysis makes it possible to show contradictions in the statistics and draws attention to regions where inefficient use of energy resources in housing and communal services could take place. The paper is a logical continuation of the study published in Bulletin of the Moscow Regional State University, Series: Natural Sciences, 2019, no. 4.
