This book provides the short history, current state, main problems and historical perspective for the development of electrical power engineering. The focus of the textbook is on the two most important issues related to meeting of the growing needs of humanity in electricity: "Hunger for energy" and "Ecological infarct". In the book are discussed the methods of their solution: optimization of energy balance, use of renewable energy resources, new methods of electricity production, increase of the efficiency of production, accumulation, transmission, distribution and consumption electricity.

The third issue - social and geopolitical threats due to the increasing need for energy - in the textbook is not considered inasmuch it details in non-stop regime discussed in the mass media.
