An approach is proposed to build a methodology for assessing the investment attractiveness of introducing renewable energy in remote and isolated settlements, which is based on the capabilities of renewable energy sources (RES), available technologies, and current legislation. The scheme of building autonomous energy systems of settlements with the introduction of underground storage elements and resources, thermal cogeneration from diesel plants has been clarified.Recommendations are given on the application of methodological innovations in existing target technical and economic methods for assessing the prospects of projects for settlements, and an approach to solving the optimization problem. It is proved that the proposed circuitry and methodological solutions are universal in nature, adaptable and further scalable for middle-latitude countries.As a model object, a geographical location - the Dnieper-Donets Basin, as an object with a typical temperate continental climate (Intracontinental climate of middle-latitudes or humid continental climate), for which there are extensive statistics, is chosen. It is determined that for the conditions of the tupical country with humid continental climate, the distance to the village from the main supply centers of the country’s energy systems is not critical for political decisions and investments, but affects the reliability of local heat and power supply. A number of recommendations are given on key baseline parameters for targeted thematic assessment techniques.
