ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

In 2012 JSC RAO Energy systems of the East announced the launch of the program for realization of RES projects in the Far East of Russia. The core of this program is successful operation of the series of renewable energy pilot facilities, which proved the main thing: it is properly here, in the isolated settlements remote from infrastructure that RES can be economically efficient today.

Year 2013 became a starting point for RES in the region. The initiative of energy workers was supported by head officials of several constituent parts of the Russian Federation who signed agreements on the development of renewable energy. In fact the infrastructure was formed for the market of RES projects of the Far East and High North.
