Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak took part in a meeting on the development of the fuel and energy complex of the Far Eastern Federal District, which was held at the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) under the leadership of President Vladimir Putin. The meeting was also attended by members of the Government, heads of Far Eastern regions and fuel and energy companies.

The participants discussed the progress of preparing a program for the development of energy capacities in the Far East for the period up to 2050 in the context of the accelerated development of the region’s economy and the growth of its energy consumption.

"The discussion was about the development of energy, gas infrastructure, oil and gas enterprises. Based on the results of the last five years, we have seen a 3.8% increase in energy consumption in the Far East, which is 2% higher than the average in Russia. In the future, this trend will continue. Therefore, it is important to ensure the accelerated development of infrastructure, the construction of generating capacities, power transmission lines," Alexander Novak noted in an interview with the Russia 24 TV channel at the EEF following the meeting.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, 5.7 thousand MW of capacity will be built for the Far East: 1564 MW of which will be solar power plants, and about 4 thousand MW will be gas and coal thermal power plants.

The government has decided to build additional power plants with a total capacity of 2.5 thousand MW by 2030 and 2 thousand power transmission lines, and the total investment in the electric power infrastructure of the Far Eastern Federal District will amount to about 3 trillion rubles.

“Providing the Far Eastern Federal District with energy infrastructure is our priority,” the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

The President instructed to pay special attention to the diversification of the Far East energy sector. This concerns the development of coal generation in the context of the availability of coal reserves for 900 years ahead, the construction of large nuclear power plants and small nuclear generation, as well as the implementation of the region's hydro potential. Instructions were also given in the area of developing gas fields to provide the region with gas, taking into account its growing needs and the implementation of Russia's export obligations.
