June 23, 2023: Russian energy storage firm Renera says a special investment contract providing incentives and financial backing for domestic production of batteries for EVs and stationary storage systems was signed at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum on June 16.
The move follows Russia's claim last month that it will have produced prototype batteries by the middle of the year.
Coal production in Russia is centered in the Kuznetsk Basin, or Kuzbass region, of Western Siberia, equidistant to Baltic Sea, Black Sea, and Pacific ports. The region accounts for more than half of coal production in Russia (Table 7).37 Russia is the world's third-largest producer of metallurgical coal, after China and Australia.
The country's total generation capacity consists of installed capacity for electricity generation from fossil fuels (72%), nuclear power (19%), and renewables (9%) (Figure 6).42 Russia generated 1,124 terawatthours (TWh) of electricity in 2023, a 1% decrease from 1,136 TWh in 2022 (Figure 7).
