The article noted the recognized world leader in the field of energy and resource savings. In all countries where there are significant advances in addressing the issues of energy efficiency, the decisive role belongs to the state. It is noted that in the Republic of Kazakhstan the development of the legal framework in the field of energy conservation has a positive effect on energy efficiency. How-ever, legislative initiatives are not applied universally, which are advisory in nature, in contrast to the US and EU.
