Will storage systems be economically viable enough to become a widespread solution for installation in power sector?
Distributed energy resources are currently ignored in the long-term planning for Russian power system develop-ment, except in remote and isolated areas. Despite this, some changes are taking place in the country, albeit rather slowly.
The above qualitative analysis of risks and benefits shows that distributed energy has valuable advantages for all market participants and for the Russian economy as a whole. The advantages will be manifested to differ-ent degrees in specific projects, so it is important to analyse them sepa-rately in each case.
At the same time, the most promising approach in Russia is distributed co-generation (a technology that shows a high level of efficiency in the northern coun-tries of Europe). According to the most conservative estimates, its poten-tial is about 17 GW.
