Renewable Energy Sources in Russia: Development and Perspective
The paper considers the theoretical aspects of electricity generation based on renewable energy sources (RES) and also identifies the key aspects of the program and the concept of energy development based on RES in Russia until 2035. At the moment, developed and developing countries follow global trends, including concern for the environment, so the relevance of renewable energy as an energy source is growing. The aim of the work is to study the current state of renewable energy, its prospects, as well as factors affecting their development and barriers preventing the increase of their production capacity. The author analyzes RES as an alternative type of energy generation and concludes that non-renewable energy sources have several disadvantages and imperfections: environmental damage, greenhouse gas emissions, limited resources, as well as the risk of accidents and catastrophes in the process of energy generation.
