JSC "Nord Hydro" took part in the round table "Prospects for Energy isolated and remote areas in Russia"

Company is engaged in the development of small hydropower in the territory of the Russian Federation not only energetically developed regions, but also in areas with decentralized energy supply began his report, Deputy Managing Director of "Nord Hydro" Vladimir Romanchuk.

The company has a long experience in the development of projects on construction work on renewable energy sources (RES), energy - water. The discussion Romanchuk said V. roundtable participants to date information on the status, results, problems and prospects of small hydropower facilities on the example projects of JSC "Nord Hydro", planned and implemented in various regions of the Russian Federation.

Were affected by the replacement of sensitive topics "green energy" existing diesel power plants that provide electricity to remote from the unified energy system (EES) settlements located in different regions of Russia, on the example of Krasnoyarsk region, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, and the Republic of Karelia.

Today, under the existing tariffs for the production of electric energy on diesel generators, questions about the measures to support the development of construction projects for renewable energy have become frequently discussed. However, in practice, for such projects, it is necessary to carry out a range of integrated activities affecting the interests of both municipal and regional authorities, as well as requiring certain actions by federal agencies.

Of particular note is the emergence of various mechanisms of co-financing of capital expenditures for the construction of renewable energy, including consisting of grant and credit parts. Using similar funding arrangements, the company JSC "Nord Hydro" plans to significantly improve the economics of renewable energy projects in the unified energy system of isolated settlements in various regions of Russia.

Implementation of these projects in the Russian Federation is extremely economically feasible without increasing electricity tariffs payback period is an average of 7 to 15 years, resulting in enormous savings of public funds allocated for grants to reimburse the cost of electricity generation in decentralized areas.

Moreover, such projects can solve important problems such as:
- Environmental
- Economic
- Prospects for development in the regions.

As a result of his report, Vladimir Romanchuk revealed the existing obstacles to the implementation of projects in the field of hydro and made specific suggestions for improving the existing legislation and draft laws in the field of development of renewable energy sources in the unified energy system isolated from human settlements.
