The article analyzes the role of sustainable economic development in shaping the energy security policy of Central and Eastern European countries, exploring the relationship between stable access to energy resources and economic progress. The issue of energy security is of particular importance in the context of resource depletion, geopolitical instability, and climate change, which exacerbate countries' dependence on energy imports. The aim is to study the peculiarities of forming a flexible energy security policy, assess its impact on sustainable economic development, and develop recommendations for minimizing energy risks. The analytical method is used to decompose the concept of energy security into components and assess their impact on the economy, as well as the comparative method to compare the energy policies of the countries of the region. The least-squares method was used to analyze the financial performance of 20 energy projects, which made it possible to assess the effectiveness of investments. The analysis revealed that the lack of investment, insufficient staff qualifications, and external threats significantly affect energy security, leading to supply disruptions and economic losses. Indicators for assessing the state of energy systems are proposed, which have shown gradual improvement due to diversification and energy efficiency. The regression model confirmed the dependence of project costs on management and resources. Further research could focus on improving energy risk forecasting models, analyzing the impact of digital technologies on energy efficiency, and developing regional strategies for integrating renewable energy sources. Keywords: sustainable development; energy security; energy policy; Central and Eastern Europe; energy investments; energy efficiency.
