Abstract: Implementation of renewable energy sources is one of the most progressively developing area of the world energy system. Within a decade (2007-2017) global consumption of renewables for electricity generation (not including hydroenergy) increased 4,5 times while total primary energy supply was grown only by 17‰. World liquid biofuels (bioethanol, biodiesel) production more than doubled being significantly ahead the growth of conventional motor fuel. Major of global renewable energy is generated on rural territories. Rural territories also is noticeable user of this energy if you consider not only agricultural production but residential, local trade, social infrastructure, transport, construction, mining and quarrying fuel and energy demands as well. The renewables are very important for sustainable development of rural territories since in many cases they could be autonomous energy sources, more friendly for the environment being compared with conventional non renewable energy sources, contribute to creation of additional jobs and often are significant alternative source of income for farmers and other rural inhabitants. The paper mainly deals with potentially most attractive renewables for rural territories including solar, wind, biofuels and wastes. Relevant foreign experience in context of socioeconomic, technological and ecological factors is studied. The main steps to support the development of renewables in rural areas of Russia are outlined.
