Abstract The territory of the Republic of Adygea has significant gross and technical potentials of renewable energy resources, through to its geographical location, natural characteristics, and economic specialization. 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 Adygea 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 Adygea is 1862 billion kWh/year 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 City confirmed the possibility of the usage of thermal water for the city’s public and industrial heat supply.

1 Introduction Renewable energy resources are sources of energy formed on the basis of existing or periodically occurring processes in nature, as well as in the life cycle of plant and animal life and life activity of the human society. A characteristic feature of renewable energy resources is their inexhaustibility or the ability to restore their potential in a short time – within the lifetime of one generation. In accordance with the United Nations General Assembly Resolution No. 33/148 (1978), nontraditional and renewable resources of energy include solar, geothermal and wind power, tidal power, wave power and thermal gradient of the sea, biomass conversion, fuel-wood, charcoal, peat, energy from draught animals, oil shale, tar sands and hydropower (Table 1). Renewable energy resources can be
