The article deals with development of hydropower in the Altai region. Indicates the need for widespread adoption in the economic practice of farms renewable energy. Provides information about the basic types of equipment of small hydro power plants. Analyzes the main problems encountered during the construction and operation of small hydroelectric power plants. In this time have a potential for the construction of small hydroelectric power stations for the needs of farms in the area of the foothill zone of the Altai Territory. It is noted that the implementation of such a project is possible only at the state level, because of the large amount of necessary investments. As a priority area of hydropower development for the needs of farms Altai proposed project of building 26 small hydro power plants on the rivers Charysh, Anouilh and Peschanaya. Indicated that the project could provide more than 95% of the needs of agriculture in the region's electricity . According to the analysis of the above issues,we can the following conclusions: (1) small hydropower plants are spent in terms of technology and affordable source of renewable energy, and (2) is now possible to create a sufficiently large hydroelectric complexes of low power, the ability to make a significant contribution to the region's energy supply structure and (3) the market has a large number of manufacturers of equipment for hydroelectric small power, including and domestic enterprises, which allows to put into practice projects by individual energy supply, without any technical difficulties, (4) the high priority in the development of small hydro power plants, in relation to the needs of the agriculture of the Altai Territory is to create a pool of 26 small hydro power plants on the rivers Charysh, Anouilh and Peschanaya with a total installed capacity of 404 MW, with an annual production volume of 1540 million kWh of electricity per year, and (5) small hydropower plants are a priority of energy supply based on renewable energy sources of agrarian industry in the foothills southeast of Altai Territory.

The article deals with the issues of self-sustaining development of agricultural areas. Stated that the main cause of subsidy dependence of modern agriculture is the high consumption of motor fuel. Analyze the structure and the main directions of the consumption of motor fuel. The possibility of replacing the traditionally used oil fuel for its biological counterparts, produced independently. Proposed a set of measures aimed at achieving energy self-sufficiency agriculture and including the introduction of energy-saving technologies, including in the field of transport. As well as the implementation of new organizational and economic forms that combine on the basis of horizontal connections.

The article examines the development of biogas production in the Altai region. Indicates the need for wide implementation in ho-agricultural practice of farms renewable energy.  Provides information about the main raw materials and specific yield volumes of fuel out of it. Argued that there is a potential for the construction of facilities for the production of biogas based on large and medium-sized livestock operations. This can provide up to 20-25% of the demand in the Altai region gas fuel. It is noted that the implementation of this project requires coordination of government support measures with the mandatory inclusion of livestock facilities for biogas in the construction or reconstruction of livestock enterprises. Also priority for biogas energy in the Altai region called the creation of biogas plants with low capacity. They can be used by individuals to meet the challenges of energy supply and heating. Refers to the importance of their implementation in some areas Altai region.
