Modeling the effects of the new Russian capacity mechanism on renewable energy investments

Abstract: Russian renewable energy policy, introduced in May 2013, is a capacity mechanism-based approach to support wind, solar, and small hydro power development in Russia. This paper explores the effect of the new mechanism on the profitability of new renewable energy investments with a numerical example. The sensitivity of project profitability to selected factors is studied and the results are compared ceteris paribus to results from a generic feed-in premium case. Furthermore, the paper gives a complete and detail… Show more

“…According to existing estimates, by realizing the potential of renewable energy in the Krasnodar region, it is possible to produce up to 1300 MW instead of burning hydrocarbon fuels. The most important types of renewable resources for the Krasnodar region are solar and wind energy, which account for 80% of the energy potential of renewable energy sources in the region [52,56,57].…”

“…The possible solution might be the usage of renewables energy sources (RES) which requires substantial investments and support. In general, RES lack wide acclaim in Russian and are often perceived as the costly alternative to cheap oil and gas [82][83][84]. Therefore, it appears important to be able to assess the energy security level with a help of the empirical model such as we have just constructed and presented in the previous section.…”
