Abstract:
The scale of the sphere of economic, social development dictates the need to consider the issues caused by
the condition, problems, and prospects of the coal mining industry, which is the foundation of the regions'
energy complex. The capacity of the raw material base of the coal mining industry is determined by the
presence and localization of coal basins, rich in mineral resources, located in the eastern, European part of
Russia, where there are coal reserves of all types, grades, with high-quality characteristics and technological
properties. Consideration of the economic status, issues, and potential development of the coal industry will
be given by the Rostov region example, which is a vivid example of coal mining territory, which clearly
shows the prospects of development and problems of functioning of economic entities of the coal industry.
The choice of this area is conditioned by the fact that this sphere is an urban-forming branch of the coalmining
industry for thi
s region. The possibility of optimizing the coal-mining sphere as energy basis in
conditions of economic, social instability, and tension is revealed, which is characterized by the closing of
mines, decrease in volume of coal mining, availability of huge debts. Negative impacts, risk factors in the
coal-mining territories include the manifestations caused by external economic instability, low investment
attractiveness, and innovation activity. The abovementioned requires unceasing attention to today's realities,
displaying of which will activate actions aimed at revival and upliftment of coal sector enterprises, the
tendency of which will be an opportunity to improve the social environment, economic climate, assist
prospective development of regions.
