Abstract
The paper analyzes the first results coming after the implementation of the ESPO and Power of Siberia mega-projects in Yakutia. We estimate the contribution that these projects have made to develop the economy and regional energy system, as well as their integration effect. We consider how the projects influence GRP dynamics and tax revenues to the Yakut consolidated budget. We characterize social and environmental risks associated with the implementation of the projects. This article contains information on the dynamics of air pollution in Yakutia by the fuel and energy complex for the years 2000-2014.
