As of 2018, the world consumption of primary energy resources amounted to 13 billion tons of oil equivalent. Fuel distribution: oil — 32.9%, solid fuel-30.1 %, gas-23.7 %, nuclear energy — 4.4 %, hydropower — 6.7 %, renewable and other resources — 2.2 %. Research in the field of renewable energy sources is carried out by a large number of scientists-theorists and practitioners, both abroad and in Russia. In this regard, the methodology of this study was based on a systematic approach and the use of a set of complementary methods: comparative analysis of energy sources; situational and strategic analysis of the possibilities of using renewable energy, regulatory and positive analysis of the use in relation to different countries and their regions; case-study method for the study of implemented projects in the field of renewable energy; regulatory analysis of adopted legislation and strategies. Assessment of the role of renewable energy sources in the socio-economic development of the regions assumed: comparison of traditional and alternative energy sources, identification of their comparative advantages and disadvantages; determination of qualitative and quantitative effects of the projects implemented at the renewable energy market. The potential of renewable energy development was assessed both through the possible volumes of energy production and their share in total consumption. Feature evaluation and novelty of the study were, firstly, focused on the interests of the regions of the North-West and, in particular, the Republic of Karelia, and, second, an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of the effects of using renewable energy sources: estimated cost reduction, environmental preservation, etc. Formalizing the available effects and the analysis of factors of development of renewable energy allowed determining the prospects and growth potential of the relevant market in the Russian regions to develop scenarios of transition to renewable energy. The results made it possible to draw a conclusion about the current and future impact of renewable energy on the socio-economic development of the territories.
