6 FAQs about [Russian wind power and solar power generation]

How much wind energy does Russia have?

Current Russian wind energy projects have a combined capacity of over 1,700 MW. The Russian Wind Energy Association predicts that if Russia achieves its goal of having 4.5% of its energy come from renewable sources by 2020, the country will have a total wind capacity of 7 GW.

Does Russia have a potential for wind energy resources utilization?

Russian Federation has a great potential for wind energy resources utilization. Investor support schemes are effective, but the volume is quite low. The future development of wind energy depends greatly on the level of economic growth. Achievement of a competitive level of wind energy could be jeopardized due to the COVID-19 crisis.

Will Russia have a 7 GW wind power plant?

The Russian Wind Energy Association predicts that if Russia achieves its goal of having 4.5% of its energy come from renewable sources by 2020, the country will have a total wind capacity of 7 GW. In 2010, plans for the construction of a wind power plant in Yeisk, on the Sea of Azov, were announced.

What is Russia's wind energy potential?

Russian regions' wind energy technical potential and ten leading parts by rating (see Table 7). 10% utilization of the ten most prominent areas' available resources could bring generation up to 200 million MWh per year, which is about 20% of the Russian Federation's annual electricity consumption (see Table 7 and Fig. 5).

How many jobs are associated with wind energy in Russia?

Thus one can indirectly estimate the number of jobs associated with wind energy in Russia, given the installed capacity of 190,5 MW. Today, the number of qualified personnel directly related to wind energy is about 400 people.

Where are wind turbines developed in Russia?
