Considered are the possibilities of use of the wind energy potential on the Northern territories in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). The study analysis of efficiency of the wind-energetic turbines (WET) use was carried out in 27 settlements of the Northern regions on the territory of Yakutia. The analysis of the power generation by WET has been conducted in these settlements. Taking into account the uneven time demonstrations of renewable energy resources, the majority of power facilities on the basis of their use are considered as additional. Their operation will partially reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. The wind power plants (WPP) of the Arctic fulfillment with the possibility of autonomous work, remote management and control of work have been investigated. The most cost-effective types of wind-driven power plants for the settlements of Yuryung-Khaya, Saskylakh, Taimylyr, Ust ‘-Olenek, Bykov’s Cape, Tiksi, Naiba have been identified. The choice of the number and capacity of wind turbines for the use in areas with high economic wind potential requires additional technical-economic analysis.
