What is Russia's energy strategy?

Further electrification of end-uses, especially transportation, in conjunction with the decarbonisation of electricity generation, is an important pillar of clean energy transitions. The energy strategy of Russia aims to maximize the use of domestic energy sources and realise the potential of the energy sector to sustain economic growth.

How will low-cost power generation and storage affect Russia's energy and mobility industries?

In other words, the combined effect of today's low-cost power generation and storage via, respectively, photovoltaic, wind turbine, Li-ion battery, and solar hydrogen technolo-gies will shortly have a profound impact on Russia's energy and mobility industries.

What type of energy is used in Russia?

Renewable energy here is the sum of hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass and wave and tidal energy. Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important energy source in lower-income settings. Russia: How much of the country’s energy comes from nuclear power?

Does Russia's energy mix rely on wind and solar PV?

the conditions for significant penetration of wind and solar PV in Russia's energy mix via utility-scale PV and wind parks coupled to storage in large Li-ion battery and solar hydrogen systems.

How much does electricity cost in Russia?

At the same time, Russia has one of the lowest residential electricity prices, at only 0.06 U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour. Thus, the country's households paid for electricity nearly seven times less than in Germany and the United Kingdom (UK).
