Today social structures and multilevel communities widely discuss exploration and development, problems and prerequisites to their solution regarding the lands of Northern and Arctic zones. One of the approaches is to involve renewable energy sources as an indicator for energy security level assessment. The paper deduces the RES coming into focus when strengthening individual energy security items and, in particular, when assessing its various areas. This makes it possible to include indicators identifying the possibilities of renewable energy generation in the land condition monitoring. Accordingly, a reasonable structure of stand-alone power supply systems formed using the RES will enhance the environmental effect function, and reduce economic and social risks already existing in these territories.

Key words: decentralized energy supply zones, renewable energy sources, ecological fragility, socioeconomic aspects, energy security.
