The ongoing energy transition in Russia is resulting in a growing interest and investment in community energy storage systems. These are small power centers that are used to distribute and store energy from renewable sources and locally provide power to residential areas with smaller batteries.
An overview of the main drivers and the current areas of application of ESS in power systems, including systems with renewable energy sources and distributed generation, has been performed.
The authors of the article took into account possible risks and carried out a qualitative scenario analysis of the development of energy storage systems in Russia in the future until 2035.
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.
Renewable energy here is the sum of hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass and wave and tidal energy. Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important energy source in lower-income settings. Russia: How much of the country’s energy comes from nuclear power?
Russia’s electric power generation was 1,110 billion kilowatthours (kWh) in 2021. About 60% of Russia’s electric power generation came from fossil fuel-derived sources, and the remainder came mostly from nuclear and hydroelectric sources (Figure 5). Russia is planning to expand the role of nuclear energy.
The Russian government released its Energy Strategy to 2035 in June 2020. The strategy seeks to diversify energy exports, modernize energy infrastructure, increase national competitiveness, and accelerate innovation and digitalization within its energy system, particularly in the Arctic region. Russia is prioritizing exports and revenue. 8
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.
At the same time, Russia has one of the lowest residential electricity prices, at only 0.06 U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour. Thus, the country's households paid for electricity nearly seven times less than in Germany and the United Kingdom (UK).
