The study presented in this paper analyzes the theoretical base for project risk management of electric power supply of remote consumers characterized by specifics of innovative projects. The essence and stages of risk management of the innovation projects are considered deeply. The main risks of this type of projects are considered by studying the example of the project of creation of an autonomous power complex for remote consumers. Risks are ranged on the basis of probability and the level of impact on project deliverables. Specific project risks on electric power supply of remote consumers are described, the recommendations about use of methods of quantitative risks assessment and implementation of anti-risk actions for increase in effective management of projects of this type are made.
