The condition of the energy complex of the peninsula was discussed in Kamchatka
Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation - Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev held a meeting on the development of energy and energy efficiency in the Kamchatka Region.
Opening the meeting, Yuri Trutnev stressed that one of the main issues in Kamchatka that needs to be resolved as soon as possible is to increase the energy security of the region. “We have repeatedly said that, unfortunately, the share of gas in the energy balance of Kamchatka is declining. According to the leadership of the region, in recent years it has decreased by half. We talked about two possible ways out of this situation. The first is the use of geothermal energy, and the relevant instructions were given to RusHydro. And the second is the possibility of using LNG. Today I would like to know how the work in these two areas is progressing,” Yury Trutnev opened the meeting.
Today, 27% of the region's fuel and energy complex is occupied by gas, 14% by coal, 36% by fuel oil, and 13% by geothermal sources. In the context of a decrease in gas production and an increase in the cost of fuel oil, one of the promising areas for the development of the energy complex of Kamchatka is the expanded use of geothermal resources. Since 2003, the first phase of the Mutnovskaya geothermal power plant has been operating in the region. Its commissioning reduced the region's demand for imported fuel oil by about 80,000 tons annually. Today, a new 220 kV transmission line is being designed from the Mutnovskaya GeoTPP to the HPP cascade on the Tolmachevo River, and the design of the 4th hydroelectric power plant at the Tolmachevo HPP cascade is starting.
Yuri Trutnev instructed VEB.DV, together with PJSC RusHydro, with the participation of the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, within three weeks to develop a comparative economic model for different types of energy use - geothermal sources and imported liquefied natural gas.
