Abstract

Today, the formation of an innovative direction in the global energy sector is taking place, which involves the contribution of renewable energy sources (RES) in relation to total energy consumption. Perhaps, over time, renewable energy will replace traditional ones. Alternative energy already satisfies a significant part of the energy requirements of many countries in the world. This also applies to the states of the Arctic region. The article is devoted to a review of the development of alternative energy in both the foreign and the Russian Arctic. In the Russian Federation, the development of alternative energy began in the late twentieth century. Today, Russia is an exporter of hydrocarbons and has no shortage of energy and fuel. However, hydrocarbons are exhaustible resources, and available deposits have already been practically developed. It follows that the cost of oil and gas production will increase over time. Also, most of the hydro resources of Russian rivers are already actively used. All this leads to the fact that one way or another as a whole in Russia there will be a need for a larger-scale development of renewable energy resources. The case of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is examined in detail. In recent years, active development of alternative energy has been observed in Yakutia - several power plants have been built that operate on the energy of water, sun and wind. Weather conditions in those areas in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) where alternative energy is developing are not stable. Therefore, the absolute replacement of traditional energy through renewable energy is not possible yet. The task is that both types of energy generation exist in unity, and are used in turn.
