Nevertheless, in the past three years Russia has been rapidly developing solar energy.
With a capacity of 20 MW, it will power about 4,000 homes and will be launched in September. The Hevel Group (" hevel " means “sun” in the Chuvash language) is Russia’s largest solar energy company, and was founded in 2009 by Renova and Rosnano, which have a 51-percent and 49-percent stake, respectively.
Buribaeyvskaya solar plant in Bashkortostan. Russia began building solar power plants not because it was in vogue, but because their increasing effectiveness made them profitable in regions that are very remote from traditional energy sources, and which at the same time have much sunshine.
Unigreen Energy, a unit of Russia-based Ream Management – which holds a controlling stake in Russian PV module manufacturer Hevel Solar – has started the development of a vertically integrated solar module factory in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, between Poland and Lithuania.
