Introduction. Active withdrawal of energy raw materials from the subsoil, as well as technogenic impact from energy sources based on traditional fuel, lead to irreversible environmental consequences. To minimize this impact, it is necessary to start from two main conditions: the search for alternative energy sources and the improvement of the existing ones. Problem Statement. The objective of this study is a comparative analysis of energy facilities in order to identify the plant that has the greatest negative impact on the environment. Theoretical part. The comparative analysis of various energy production systems reflects the ecological and economic components of each. For example, a thermal power plant (TPP), a nuclear power plant (NPP) and a wind power plant (WPP) are considered. The negative impact on the environment is mainly exerted on the atmospheric air, in connection with which the data on the amount of pollutants are considered. Also, a modified Leopold matrix was constructed for an expert assessment of the mentioned stations. Conclusions. The results of the analysis show that among the considered power plants, the wind power plant is the most environmentally friendly and favorable for the health of the population.
