Maxim Gubanov, head of the energy and housing and communal services department of the Corporation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic, believes that if the state stimulates the use of renewable energy sources, modern electricity generation technologies can be actively used in hard-to-reach remote Arctic territories.
