Abstract
The paper presents assessment of the renewable energy potential in the Republic of Adygeya. The territory of the Republic of Adygeya, thanks to its geographical location, natural characteristics, economic specialization, has significant gross and technical potentials of renewable energy resources. It is the most preferable region for the development of solar energy. The gross potential of solar energy for the territory of the Republic of Adygeya is 1.3 billion TOE (Tons of Oil Equivalent) and the technical potential is 6.4 million TOE for the production of heat and 0.5 billion TOE for electricity production. The gross potential of wind energy in the Republic of Adygeya is 1862 billion kWh/yr, or 633 million TOE per year. The gross potential of hydraulic energy of small rivers is 7–9.65 billion kWh and the technical potential is 2.2–3.15 billion kWh. The analysis of geothermal conditions on the territory close to Maykop confirmed the possibility of the usage of thermal water for the city’s public and industrial heat supply.
