We consider the $s$-energy $E({{Z}_{n}};\,s)={{\Sigma }_{i\ne j}}K(\parallel {{z}_{i,n}}\,-\,{{z}_{j,n}}\parallel \,;\,s)$ for point sets $Zn\,=\,\{{{z}_{k,n}}\,:\,k\,=\,0,\,\ldots \,,\,n\} $ on certain compact sets $\Gamma $ in ${{\mathbb{R}}^{d}}$ having finite one-dimensional Hausdorff measure,where

$$K(t;\,s)\,=\,\left\{ _{-\ln \,t,\,\,\,\text{if}\,s\,=\,0,\,}^{{{t}^{-s}},\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{if}\,s\,>\,0,} \right\}$$

is the Riesz kernel. Asymptotics for the minimum $s$-energy and the distribution of minimizing sequences of points is studied. In particular, we prove that, for $s\,\ge \,1$, the minimizing nodes for a rectifiable Jordan curve Γ distribute asymptotically uniformly with respect to arclength as $n\,\to \,\infty $.
