Abstract. In modern conditions, characterized by instability and uncertainty of the socio-economic situation, the development of strategic priorities for the development of energy retail companies, according to their specific business and comparative advantages, is particularly relevant. In the article, the authors systematized various approaches to define the category of “strategy” based on an analysis of scientific references. Three basic stages of strategy development are identified and approved. Based on the developed “business model” of energy retail companies, strategic development priorities are formulated on the case of Crimean state-owned unitary enterprise “Krymenergo”. These priorities will help to solve the problems of modernization and renovation of equipment, digitalization and optimization of production processes, mobilization of hidden and promising sources of investment, and in general, will ensure sustainable and high-quality development of energy retail companies. Therefore, the aim of the article is to develop effective strategic priorities for the development of energy retail companies (using the example of Crimean state-owned unitary enterprise of the “Krymenergo”.
