Energy is one of the most significant areas of the Russian economy and human activity in

general. The shortcomings of legal regulation in this area are correspondingly reflected in

relations between the subjects of energy. Often, the regulatory uncertainty of the status of

certain participants in energy relations does not allow them to fully protect their rights,

the lack of regulation of substantive law affects the procedural law, which is reflected in the

difficulties of administering justice. Therefore, it is fundamentally important to identify

correctly the appropriate parties in the energy sector cases. The task of determining the

composition of the persons involved in the case undoubtedly lies with the court, since

the resolution of the dispute without any person participating in the case may lead to

the violation of the rights of such person or the imposition of a number of duties on him,

which, in turn, may result in the abolition of the judgment. This article is devoted to the

determination of the subjects who may act in energy disputes as persons involved in the

case. The author comes to the conclusion that due to the existing uncertainty in the status

of subjects in disputes related to energy law relations, it is obvious that the court’s task

becomes much more complicated if it encounters conflicts in the substantive law relating

to the unresolved status of certain individuals, and also when determining the need to

involve third parties in the case by the plaintiff or the defendant.
