The paper analyzes the energy potential of autonomous power supply based on renewable energy sources in a livestock farm. Based on calculations of the amount of farm waste that act as raw materials for a biogas power plant, the amount of electricity that can be produced from biogas has been determined. The value of electricity generation was also determined when a biogas plant and solar panels are used together in order to fully cover the need for electricity. It has been established that the use of renewable energy sources for autonomous power supply has significant potential for growth, in particular, the generation of electricity by a biogas power plant is calculated according to the minimum indicators for a cattle farm, provides 57% of the required electricity, in addition, there is also thermal energy, which is used for heating farms. The combined operation of the biogas plant and solar panels installed on the roof of the farm allows to cover the need for electricity with a reduction factor of 2.6 solar panels generation. The use of biogas obtained from the waste of a cattle farm and together with solar panels makes it possible to cover the need for electricity with a significant reserve. For a typical farm of 100 cattle, this stock is about 80%. The use of which is possible with the use of energy storage devices and the formation of a biogas reserve. It has been established that the electrical power of a biogas plant, which works in conjunction with solar panels, should be at least the average value of the power consumption to provide autonomous power supply to consumers of the livestock farm, especially in the winter months when solar insolation is minimal.
