Electric power industry of Russia

In territory of Russia incorporated power systems of the Center, the Northwest, the Volga region, the North Caucasus, Ural Mountains, Siberia and the Far East function. The electric power make on thermal, nuclear and hydroelectric power stations.
Following the results of 2009 in Russia it has been made 1,04 трлн квт*ч the electric power (4 place in the world). The same year from Russia it has been exported 17,9 млрд квт*ч the electric power for the sum $789 million In 2010 it has been exported 19,0 млрд квт*ч the electric power for the sum $1,03 billion
As of 2009 in Russia is available hydraulic power stations 15 operating, completed and being in frozen building from above 1000 МВт and more than hundred hydroelectric power stations of smaller capacity. Atomic engineering. On the beginning of 2010 beyond Russia there were 16 % in the market of services in building and atomic power station operation in the world. According to research of RBC from July, 2010, for today "Atomstrojeksport" which basic shareholder is the state corporation Rosatom, reserves 20 % of the world market of building of the atomic power station. This share can increase to 25 %. By data for March, 2010, Rosatom builds 10 nuclear power units in Russia and 5 abroad.
In Russia 10 atomic power stations on which 31 power unit is maintained are constructed. Since 1991 3 new blocks have been entered into a system. On the beginning of 2006 in a stage of building there were three more.
In 2007 the Russian atomic power stations have developed 159,79 млрд кВт·ч the electric power that has made 15,7 % from the general development in the country. Over 4 % of the electric power made in the European part of Russia and in Ural Mountains, it is necessary on the atomic power station. In 2009 the gain of manufacture of uranium has made 25 % in comparison with 2008
After start of the power unit of the Volgodonsk atomic power station in 2010, the chairman of the government of Russia V.V.Putin has sounded plans of finishing of nuclear generation in the general power balance of Russia from 16 % to 20-30 %.
Now Rosatom posesses 40 % of the world market of services on enrichment of uranium and 17 % of the market on delivery of nuclear fuel for the atomic power station. Russia has large complex contracts in the field of atomic engineering with India, Bangladesh, Armenia, Venezuela, China, Vietnam, Iran, Turkey, Bulgaria, Belarus and with a number of the countries of the Central Europe. Complex contracts in designing, building of nuclear power units, and also in deliveries of fuel with Argentina, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Qatar are probable. Negotiations are carried on for joint projects on working out of uranium deposits with Mongolia.
In Russia there is a big national program on development of the nuclear power including building of 28 nuclear reactors the next years, in addition to 30, already constructed in the Soviet period. So, input of the first and second power units of the New Voronezh atomic power station-2 should take place in 2013—2015гг.
The federal agency on atomic energy of Russia conducts not having analogs in the world the project on creation of unique floating atomic power stations of low power. In 2010 замглавы concern "Rosenergoatom" has declared that works on building of the first copy go under the schedule. Readiness of station — the end of 2012, an exit on operation — in 2013.
Ветроэнергетика. The technical potential of wind energy of Russia is estimated from above 50 000 млрд kvt·ch/year. The economic potential makes approximately 260 млрд kvt·ch/year, that is about 30 % of manufacture of the electric power all power stations of Russia. The established capacity of wind-driver power stations in the country for 2006 makes nearby 15 МВт.
One of the greatest ветроэлектростанций Russia (5,1 МВт) is located around settlement Kulikovo of Zelenograd area of the Kaliningrad region. Its mid-annual development makes about 6 million кВт·ч.
All Russian geothermal power stations are located on Kamchatka and Kuriles, the total electropotential пароводных a term of one Kamchatka is estimated in 1 ГВт working electric capacity. The Russian potential is realized only in size not by much more than 80 МВт the established capacity (2009) and about 450 million кВт·ч annual development (2009).
