Hydropower will allow the Kamchatka Peninsula to reduce the use of hydrocarbons

The basis of energy of Kamchatskiy Krai should be hydropower that will enable the region to reduce the use of hydrocarbons, the head of the region Vladimir Ilyukhin.

East economic forum in Vladivostok Kamchatka authorities signed an agreement with RusHydro, the main emphasis is made on energy development in Kamchatka in the part of renewable sources.



"We have a couple geotherms (geothermal), diesel generation, gas generation is... But the basis of energy, in my opinion, should be hydropower. We need to continue the conversation about the construction of Zhupanovsky hydropower. Must be two of them. The total amount of energy produced at these stations can be approximately 350-380 MW is what will solve the problem here in the Central power hub," said Ilyukhin reporters on Thursday.He said that now the issue about the beginning of construction of Zhupanovsky hydropower stations, approximately 100-150 kilometers from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, on the Zhupanova river.


Thus we will be able to get away from the use of hydrocarbons. Today we have the Kamchatskaya CHP-1 and CHP-2, which are the basis for the generation in Petropavlovsk, Yelizovo, Vilyuchinsk, are gas. But Gazprom us today prospects are not very joyful for the extraction yields, therefore, forced to look for alternatives," said the Governor.

Ilyukhin noted that the issues of ecology, nature conservation in the region is very important, because the construction of generation based on renewable sources becomes ever more important for Kamchatka. published
