Moscow Energy Storage Power Generation

Energy storage is a top priority for everyone active in renewable energy and Russia is no exception. The Kremlin has plans to draw 4.5 percent of electricity from renewable sources by 2024, which means 5.5 GW of renewables capacity and the energy storage systems to offset the intermittency of wind and solar energy generation.

Here's a fun fact about Russia: it gets a fifth of its energy from hydropower. This might sound shocking for a country whose image is so tightly linked to oil and gas, but Russia has a lot of big rivers and it's putting them to good use. Now, Moscow is moving into other renewables and, more interestingly, energy storage as well.

The paper identified three priority areas, including energy storage systems for the grid; storage systems for utility-scale electricity consumption; and “hydrogen energy,” which means storage systems to be used in electricity applications that require autonomy, mobility, and zero emissions.

In the early 1920s, the overall power from all the Russian power stations had decreased to about 70 MW, producing about 500 million kWh of electrical energy.10 On 7 February 1920, the State electrification commis-sion (GOELRO) was formed and tasked to devise a plan for electrifying the country.
