Renewable Energy Policies in Russia
The renewable energy policies in Russia for the period up to 2030 mainly focus on the field of the electric energy industry, specifically electricity produced from renewable energy and sold on the wholesale market.
- By 2030, the policy aims to increase the amount of primary energy consumption from 11% to 13–14% from renewable energy sources, and the strategy aims to increase the percentage of electricity generated from renewable resources from 0.5 to 4.5%.
- Clean energy technology and green energy projects initiatives on energy conservation and development by introducing new energy technologies with the help of renewable resources.
- The aim of national renewable policies in Russia by 2030 is to support research institutions and the manufacturing sector by providing Russian machinery, parts, and modern technologies for the betterment of renewable energy sectors. This includes using technology transfer and localising the manufacture of parts for electric power plants that run on renewable energy.
- Renewable energy investment in Russia is estimated at 2.4–2.8 trillion US dollars from 2007, including investment for the fuel and energy complex, centralised heat supply, and other important parts of the energy sector for the development of renewable energy sources and to increase energy efficiency.
Renewable Energy Development in Russia
Renewable energy development in Russia is growing so fast due to the global demand for power sources and the limited availability of fossil fuels. The renewable capacity of Russia is 60000 MW. Russia is rich in oil, gas, and coal, which are not renewable.
The important types of renewable energy sources in Russia are hydroelectric energy, wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy, tidal energy, and biofuel energy.
Most of Russia’s renewable energy sources are new and have grown in the past few years. The development of the renewable energy sector is expected to improve human resources, including improving energy infrastructure, supplying energy goods and services at socially reasonable prices, providing sustainable training for highly qualified individuals, and raising the standard of living for people everywhere.
In this article, we will discuss renewable energy development in Russia in detail, along with renewable energy policies.
