Abstract. The article analyzes the profound changes in the system of business organization and management due to the processes of globalization, digitalization, and the formation of ecosystems. Special attention is paid to industrial ecosystems from the position of disclosing the content of the concept of “ecosystem”, emphasis is placed on the managerial aspects of the study. With the increasing dynamism of the external environment, increasing complexity of interorganizational ties, the issues of formation and expansion of decentralized network management structures of economic systems, search for flexibility of industrial ecosystems under the influence of increased competition between companies, increasing complexity of component value for the consumer are becoming more relevant. Based on the analysis of ecosystem processes in industry, the main directions for achieving structural changes in the industrial electric power industry in order to achieve sustainable development are determined. The ecosystem approach to research, which combines cluster spatial, structural-functional, network and other approaches, allowed us to reveal the contradictions and factors of industrial ecosystems development based on the desire of business to economic growth, social and environmental responsibility through the use of the potential of digital technologies, innovations, adaptive communication of actors included in the ecosystem. To ensure innovative development of the industrial electric power industry, it is important to create favorable conditions for structural transformation based on the practical implementation of a decentralized model of companies' activities in the field of electricity generation, sales and consumption, state partnership with the use of innovative development funds and institutions, integration of centralized and distributed energy systems, transformation of traditional business processes, etc.
