Summary: | Abstract Arctic regions are known to be characterized by a situation when the cash costs associated with the heat power production for heat supply overshoot the heat power tariff. Therefore, part of the financial burden placed on the government by way of subsidizing the fossil fuel purchase and delivery to the settlements of the Arctic regions. Through the example the Tsypnavolok settlement, which is located in one of such regions, wind power plants using for heat supply are shown to be considered as a measure to reduce the government financial burdens. For Tsypnavolok the cost of power produced by the wind power plant revealed by calculations is amount to 67.02 USD/Gcal. This is not so many as the average heat tariff (67.9 USD/Gcal). At such heat supply indexes, wind power plants are not only to reduce the government financial burdens, but also to bring an extra income. |
