Analysis of the Provision of Electrical Energy to the Arctic Areas of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

This paper presents a comparative assessment of the efficiency of electricity production and consumption in a particular region of the Arctic areas of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Based on the analysis, the existing threats of power supply are revealed and recommendations for effective power supply of the Tomponsky District in the Eastern economic zone (EEZ) of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) entering the Arctic zone of Russia are given. The relevance of the study stems from the fact that the analysis of cost and not only natural indices of electricity production and consumption has been carried out for the first time and no relevant studies have been conducted in the Republic of Sakha in recent years, especially in the context of each locality and the main groups of electricity consumers. The results of the study allow us to develop sound recommendations for efficient electricity consumption in the context of the settlements of the Tomponsky District of the Eastern economic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
