Abstract

This study's object is the process of managing the information potential of energy enterprises under the conditions of digital coherence. The task addressed is to build a consolidated model of digital coherence, which would enable the functioning of digital, management, and information elements of the enterprise, promote the integrated development of information potential, and increase the adaptability of energy enterprises to digitalization.

A consolidated model of digital coherence has been constructed and substantiated as a basic methodological basis for effective management of the information potential of energy enterprises. Digital coherence is considered as an integrative characteristic that ensures the consistency of digital resources, technologies, processes, and management practices within the strategic, operational, and analytical levels of an energy enterprise.

The proposed model combines elements of digital strategy, digital platforms, innovative technologies, and digital culture into a single coherent system, which makes it possible to increase stability, adaptability, and management efficiency under the conditions of digital transformation.

A system of quantitative criteria and indicators for assessing digital coherence has been designed, implemented in the form of an integrated index. The model has been tested on the example of the Zaporizhzhia Power Plant, which made it possible to track the dynamics of digital integration and the impact of crisis events (in particular, wartime) on the level of information potential in 2012–2024.

The digital maturity of the power plant demonstrates regressive dynamics: the integrated digital coherence index decreased from 0.386 (2021) to 0.260 (2024), which indicates a degradation of the level of integration of digital solutions into the management processes of the enterprise
