An analysis of the development of renewable energy sources (RES) in the Russian Federation in the long term for the period up to 2040 has been carried out. Political aspects of public support for RE development were considered as a strategic task in the development of scientific and technical technology and its export capabilities and ensuring energy security of the national economy.
