FEDC provides systematic support to businesses in the field of distributed generation to reduce tariffs
The Far East and Arctic Development Corporation (FEDC), together with the Russian Mining Industrialists Association, held a round table on the topic “Distributed generation for remote facilities in the Far East and Arctic.” The event took place as part of a meeting of the Supreme Mining Council at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation.
According to the executive director of the Russian Mining Industry Association, Anatoly Nikitin, in the absence of accessible energy infrastructure in the Far East and the Arctic, distributed generation is the only possible solution to ensure energy supply to mining enterprises.
“However, high capital costs and the cost of electricity at our own diesel power plants significantly affect the economics of a complex field development project and make it unprofitable. A possible solution could be the use of modern distributed generation technologies, including those based on renewable energy sources, and attracting specialized investors to this area based on public-private partnership mechanisms,” said Anatoly Nikitin.
According to the head of the energy and housing and communal services department of the FEDC, Maxim Gubanov, modern technological solutions make it possible to provide consumers in remote areas with environmentally friendly energy at an affordable price. “The Far East and Arctic Development Corporation provides systematic support to businesses in the field of distributed generation based on tax preferences, which will further reduce tariffs for consumers. The largest investors in the energy sector are working with us and are ready to build a local energy center at their own expense on the basis of a bilateral long-term agreement with the consumer. We invite companies in the mining industry to jointly search for optimal solutions to local energy supply issues and are open to cooperation,” noted Maxim Gubanov.
During the session, the largest investors in renewable energy including Atomenergomash, NovaWind, Unigreen Energy and Global Hydro presented their solutions.
