	The paper is devoted to the identification of  energy  system  facilities  that  are  critical  in  terms of  national  and  regional  energy  security.  Levels  of critical  facilities  of  the  industry  are  substantiated and  an  algorithm  for  their  inclusion  in  the  lists  of federal  or  regional  critical  facilities  is  developed.  A simulation  mathematical  model  of  gas  industry  and a  model  for  estimating  the  adequacy  of  the  electric power system of Russia are used to estimate the role of  the  facility  in  the  system  availability.  The  study involves modeling of the operation of Russia’s power and gas industries for the desired time interval given the factors affecting the operation of the systems. The proposed approach has been tested in the conditions 
of Russia’s gas industry and the Interconnected Power System of Siberia. The result of the research is a list of critical facilities of the gas industry at the federal level,  which  includes,  along  with  the  facilities  of  gas transportation network, the main compressor stations of gas fields and underground gas storage facilities, as well as critical facilities of the Interconnected Power System of Siberia.
