Notable Energy Storage projects announced in 2023: On January 5, 2023, Russia''s PM Mikhail Mishustin said work has started on the country''s first giga factory. The state-owned corporation Rosatom had started building a 4 GWh lithium-ion battery plant in the Baltic Sea enclave of Kaliningrad.
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 rhetoric of the Russian establishment occasionally acknowledges the necessity of energy transition, albeit with the condition that it should be “gradual” and “balanced,” as Putin said at the BRICS summit in Johannesburg in August.
Calling it “a fundamentally new stage” in Russia’s technological development, the government envisions a reliance predominantly on domestic research and production to meet the country’s technological needs.
The move follows Russia’s claim last month that it will have produced prototype batteries by the middle of the year.
Lanshina agreed that the green transition was gaining momentum in Russia mostly to please its European partners. The real value of some projects, such as achieving carbon neutrality in the Sakhalin region by 2025, remains controversial because the country's climate undertakings are mostly an imitation of a real climate policy.
