The article discusses the problems of providing energy supply to consumers in remote regions of Russia, including in the Arctic zone. The necessity of introducing and developing the best available technologies for autonomous energy supply to consumers in the decentralized electricity supply zone, which should be based on the combined use of technologies and reducing cross-subsidization for the long term in the framework of the implementation of a unified state energy policy, is proved. Differentiation of power supply systems of consumers was carried out, according to the results of which it is advisable to pay special attention to the location of the source of electric energy generation. The paper suggests that in the conditions of the Arctic zone it should be as close as possible to the center of energy consumption and the possibility of combined generation of electric and thermal energy.
