Abstract
The article considers factors influencing the formation of the energy policy of the European Union. It shows the dependence of the evolution of the energy policy priorities on the ever-decreasing supply of energy resources in Europe. The forced need to import energy resource for sustaining the politically expedient economic growth of the EU countries has negative consequences in the form of an increase in the energy dependence of the member countries. In turn, that is reflected in the spread of the ideologeme about the unconditional need to increase the coordination of the national energy policies of the EU member states under the control of European supranational bodies. The author substantiates the conclusion about the strengthening of the trend towards communitarianization of the EU energy policy (that is, the growing role of supranational regulation in the area).
