Russia''s Solar Energy Storage Revolution: Overcoming Arctic
But here''s the kicker: Russia''s solar energy storage projects grew 37% last year despite temperatures hitting -50°C in energy-critical regions like Yakutia. The real question isn''t "Can
Insolation map of Russia (Map of Insolation of Russia, 2019). At the beginning of 2020, thirteen solar power plants with a total installed capacity of more than 300 MW are already operating in this region (Solar Power Plants in the Orenburg Region, 2019).
According to Russian suppliers for solar power plants (altecology.ru, 2019; Solar controller, 2020), the average cost of equipment for solar power plants with an installed capacity of 10 MW is 310 million rubles.
The Orenburg region is one of the long-term leaders among the regions of Russia, not only in terms of the potential of solar energy (about 300 sunny days a year) (Kommersant, 2020; Rambler, 2020) (Figure 5), but also in terms of the rate of development of this sector in the country. FIGURE 5.
The main energy companies developing solar energy in the Orenburg region are the Russian Hevel Group, including “Avelar Solar Technology” LLC, and “Renova”, including “T Plus” PJSC, as well as the Finnish company “Fortum” and the French company “Schneider Electric”.
