The article evaluates the volume and structure of local renewable energy resources in the northern regions of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, characterized by extreme natural conditions, low population density and isolation from main power transmission lines. This is the territory north of Angara, the main part of which falls on the Taimyr Dolgan-Nenets, Evenki and Turukhansky districts. Electricity in these areas is produced using expensive imported fossil fuels, and an urgent task is to assess the possibilities of replacing it with local renewable energy resources — solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy. The article examines the potential of these sources, differentiates the territory in terms of their volume and territorial distribution. There are two zones within the study area. In the northern one, the Taimyr region, the development of wind energy, including the construction of large wind farms, is preferable. In the south one, represented by Evenki, Turukhansk and adjacent districts, small autonomous diversified energy sector, represented by solar power plants, hydroelectric power plants and bioenergy stations, is promising. Taimyr is a territory linked to the Northern Sea Route and the Norilsk industrial district. Thus, the territory between it and the economically developed south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory becomes a kind of vast natural hinterland. It is impossible to completely replace imported fuels with local resources due to the instability of renewable sources, but gradually increasing their share within the framework of hybrid energy complexes is effective. Diesel fuel savings are 0.3–0.8 tons per year, and CO2 emissions reduction is 1–2 tons per year for every 1 kW of installed solar or wind power plant capacity. The payback period for a unit of installed capacity based on renewable sources will be 3–4 years, and reducing external costs provides additional economic benefits.
