The article is devoted to the problem of innovative development of the thermal power sector at the regional level, which is currently undergoing very profound transformations associated with the transition from traditional energy to new technologies and renewable energy sources, from centralized generation to distributed technologies and from supplying only heat energy to combining innovative products and services related to it. New technologies play a key role in this process, as they determine the dynamics of change. An innovative approach is changing the current business model and taking advantage of the opportunities that are emerging in the energy market. Analysis of the current state of innovative development of the regional heat and power complex in St. Petersburg revealed serious limitations of these processes: an increase in the share of heating networks that need renovating, an increase in emergency facilities in the heat and power sector of the region, insufficient funding of the introduction of new technologies. The purpose of the article is to describe the innovations widely introduced in recent years in the thermal power sector in the world in the field of production, storage, transportation, and environmental protection, and to indicate the main obstacles that inevitably arise in this type of activity in St. Petersburg. The most promising directions of innovative development of the heat and power regional complex are the following: communication systems to ensure various operations involved in decision-making processes, highly efficient wind generators, piston engines, new protective devices and hardware that help predict the loads of heat and power systems and automate the distribution of heat and system performance, distributed ledgers and block chain, and big data analysis tools.
