The structure of the energy resources used in the metallurgical industry of Zaporizhzhya region is analyzed. On basis of the proposed calculations that are founded on the use of statistical information about consumption of energy in Zaporizhzhya region and norms of economy from the introduction of energy saving methods, the possible economy of heavy and furnace fuel and electricity in metallurgy industries of Zaporizhzhya region is defined. Considering the existing problematic aspects of metallurgical sector development and calculated reserves of energy saving, the ways of efficient use of Zaporizhzhya region energy potential are proposed.
