ENThe article deals with an urgent contemporary issue of sustainable development by tackling controversy and incompatibility of economic aims: to combine energy security, economic growth, steward environmental health and maintain long-term competitiveness. A discussion about perception of energy security, future trends of energy consumption, economic growth and mode of impact of energetically secure economic growth on environment and level of international competitiveness is elaborated on.
