The problems of expansion of energy infrastructure and options for energy supply of the Russian Arctic regions are considered. The segments for the development of distributed generation due to the low population density in the Eastern part of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (Russian Arctic) and the formation of reference zones are identified. The variants of power facilities of distributed generation with the creation of local networks for the subjects of the Russian Federation included in the Arctic Zone are substantiated. Risk factors for the development of distributed generation on RES, as well as a number of modern financial methods of risk management of RES are identified.

Key words: Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, renewable energy sources, distributed generation zone, local networks, natural risks, environmental risks, financial risk management methods.
