The article explores the using of renewable energy sources in the territory of the South Urals. Thermoenergy indicators are being analyzed on the use of differentiated types of energy: in summer due to solar radiation, and in winter due to the heat of the Earth’s interior. The changes in the intensity of solar radiation and the radiation balance during the day and throughout the year are analyzed; the territory’s wind regime is characterized and the outlook for the using of wind energy is made. It is proposed to invest not only in fossil fuels, but also in renewable, practically inexhaustible sources of energy, which in the long term will allow to take a proper place in the energy market, as well as to solve acute environmental problems.
