Russia-2060: Perspectives of Green Energy
We signed an agreement with Rusnano at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in June this year. The agreement covers a range of comprehensive pilot schemes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As part of the agreement, we intend to implement a pilot project to establish a carbon-free zone in Ulyanovsk Region in the form of a carbon polygon. We also signed an agreement with Vershina Development and Sberbank at the Forum to create Russia’s first active energy complex that uses renewable energy sources. We have several special economic zones in our region. In one such zone, we intend to build a complex where 50% of the energy will be [produced – ed.] using wind generators, and 50% using gas generators. This will ensure power for all resident companies operating in the zone. Currently, we have two wind farms with a total capacity of 85 MW – that’s around 7–8% of the region’s consumption. In addition, there are plans to build more wind farms with a capacity of 150 MW. An agreement has already been signed and planning is at the advanced stages. In fact, work on the project has already begun. What’s more, we will produce around 100 MW using solar panels
