Prospects for solar energy are very high for some regions. These include: areas surrounding the Black and Caspian Seas. According to the operator of the Unified Energy System, the share of electricity produced by solar energy in Russia is 0.03% of the total.
Today, there are more than 10 solar power plants in Russia, which produce a total capacity of 72.5 MW. Now there is an active consideration of projects for the construction of power plants on the territory of the Crimean peninsula. To make it energy-independent, it is necessary to generate an additional 2.5 billion kW.
The amount of solar radiation fluctuates greatly due to the geographical location of Russia. In hot regions, it is 1400 kWh/m2, and in cold regions it is 810 kWh/m2. It also depends on the time of year. It is higher during the summer months and vice versa in winter. Prospects for solar energy are very high for some regions. These include:
In other parts of Russia, in particular, in the city of Narimanov, it is planned to build a solar power plant with a capacity of 25 million kWh/year. The Far East is not far behind. To meet the energy demand, a solar power plant with a capacity of 40 MW is planned to be built in the Republic of Sakha.
