Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak chaired a meeting of the Government Commission on Electric Power Development with the participation of Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov, representatives of the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Finance, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, the State Duma, and energy companies.
The parties reviewed the current state of Siberia's energy system and discussed the necessary steps to meet the region's growing electricity needs by 2030. To meet future demand, plans include the construction of a direct current (DC) power bridge with a capacity of up to 1,500 MW, as well as the creation of new generating capacity of over 1,000 MW through a competitive selection process.
"The economy and digital technologies will continue to develop, and energy demand will only increase. Therefore, we need to think long-term and create the necessary infrastructure today," said Alexander Novak.
During the meeting, the parties discussed promising solutions for the construction of new energy facilities in southern Russia, as well as in Moscow and the Moscow region, including a series of thermal power plants designed to meet the growing electricity needs of these regions. In total, 15 generating units with a total capacity of 3,200 MW are planned.
The technical requirements for planned thermal power plants, as well as the modernization of existing facilities and power grids using new technological solutions to increase electricity generation, were discussed.
