Over 60% of the electricity in Russia is produced by gas powered
thermal plants whose average efficiency factor is less than 30%.
However, taking into account modernization costs, it can be at
least 50%. In that case the country will not only be supplied with
more power, but it will also save huge amounts of natural gas which
is known to be a non-renewable resource. The project of TPP is also
important from the point of view of reducing the nuclear risks: it
will enable producing so much additional electricity that dangerous
Russian NPP will be possible to close - there will be no need for
them any more.
Unfortunately, the current energy strategy of Russia implies
modernization of just one third of gas thermal power plants: it is
still focused on nuclear energy.
Apart from the documentation pack Greenpeace handed over
automatic illumination control devices including those produced in
Russia. These devices enable using illumination only when
necessary.
Automatic illumination control can considerably decrease the
electrical power deficit in Moscow without much additional expense.
Experience shows that such control devices pay back in 1,5-2
months. According to Greenpeace's estimations, using these devices
for municipal utilities can result in 5-10 % decrease in the power
deficit.
RAO UES owns many buildings and facilities. By installing the
devices the company could show the example of fighting the power
deficit.
The head of the RAO UES backed up the idea of development of
steam gas installations at TPPs. Anatoly Chubais approved the idea
to install automatic illumination control devices in the company
buildings.
