Russia Energy Sector Now
The energy system of the Russian Federation consists of seven UES (United Energy
Systems): the Central UES, Middle Volga, Ural, North-West, South and the UES of Siberia);
and the geographically isolated energy systems (Chukotka Autonomous Okrug ES,
Kamchatka region, the Sakhalin and the Magadan regions, the Norilsk-Taimyr and the
Nicholaev power districts, the energy systems of Central and Northern parts of the Republic
of Sakha (Yakutia)).
Production of electric energyIn 2017 electricity generation by power plants of Russia, including electricity production by power plants
of industrial enterprises amounted to 1 073,7 billion kWh (among the UES – 1 053,9 billion kWh).
The increase of electricity production in 2017 amounted to 0.2 %, including:
Thermal power plants – 622,4 billion kWh (1.0 % decrease);
Hydroelectric plants – 187.4 billion kWh (0.4 % increase);
Nuclear power plants – 202,9 billion kWh (3.3 % increase);
Renewable Energy – 0,69 billion kWh ( 6GW installed capacity planned by 2024)
Power plants of industrial enterprises – 60,3 billion kWh (an increase of 0.9 %).

Energy Sector in Future
▪ Every Energy sector segment will have it’s part (niche)
▪ Decentralized Energy segment will grow significantly
▪ Digitalization of Energy (Grid) is a strong trend
▪ Renewable Energy growth supported by the several different
instruments – Federal level (installed capacity), Regional (Land)
level, Microgenergation; Growth of local content
▪ Energy-efficiency as a driver of changes
Main ChallengesThe main problems in the Russian energy security are:
• High degree of depreciation of main assets of fuel and energy complex (in the electricity and
gas industry - almost 60%, in oil refining industry - 80%).
• Low degree of investing in the development of sectors of the fuel and energy
• High degree of dependence of the Russian economy and energy sectors on natural gas,
which share in the structure of domestic consumption of fuel and energy resources makes up
to 53%);- not conformance of the production potential of fuel and energy complex of Russia
to the world's scientific and technical level, including environmental standards;
• Weak development of energy infrastructure in Eastern Siberia and the Far East.
Strategic Goal in Energy Efficiency - reaching unrealized potential of organizational and technological
energy savings, amounting up to 40% of the total domestic energy consumption.

Drivers for growth of Decentralized
Energy Supply in Russia: Difference with EU
▪ Solid and Trustworthy Energy Supply need in remote areas
▪ Extremely high CAPEX and OPEX for Grid solutions
▪ Cost drivers for Project owners: Diesel price, Logistics, EPC – Not
price of the equipment
▪ Industrial Consumers Approved plans in the regions: Russian
Bahn (3,6 GW), Northern Seaway( Artcic), Mining&Metallurgy
▪ Household Microgrid Law (15kW)
Unique window of opportunity for
German SMEs in Russia
▪ Strong supporting infrastructure: BMWI, dena, BSW, eclareon,
EUROSOLAR Russia
▪ Support on all stages: Market entry, Exhibition, Help in
Presentation to Customers (Projects)
▪ Growing Market in all RE and off-grid market segments
▪ Bi-laterally financed Applied R&D Projects (BMWI/ZIM – FASIE)
▪ Implementation infrastructure in all Regions
▪ FIRST COME – FIRST SERVE!
