KAMCHATKA REGION POWER SYSTEM

https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2016.01-02.006

Abstract

The Kamchatka energy development strategy has relied on the use of natural gas and to a lesser extent renewable energy sources (RES) over the past 20 years. Since 2012 the Kamchatka region government has prepared HPP cascade construction on Zhupanova river. HPP development proponents refer to the experience of Iceland, which hydroelectric power plants produce three-quarters of electricity and geothermal power plants – one-quarter one. A comparison of the existing Iceland HPP and the planned cascade of Kamchatka shows that the main technical and economic parameters of HPP of Kamchatka significantly inferior to Iceland HPP. High risks as well as the high construction cost confirmed that the project is inadvisable, and it was closed. Therefore, further regional energy development depends on the RES and local fuel effective use.
