On 3 December 2025, the III International Conference
on “Renewable Energy in Russia: Energy
Transition Technologies” was held in
Moscow. This event provides a platform for regular
discussions between top industry
experts, representatives from the business community, and government officials.
Kirill Komarov, First
Deputy Director General - Director of
Development and International Business at Rosatom, took part in the session on “International
Cooperation and the Prospects for
Introducing Energy Transition Technologies in the Global Energy Sector”. Andrey Sharonov, Director Generalof the National ESG Alliance, moderated the discussion.
The event was attended by Russian Energy Minister Sergey Tsivilev; Viktor Vekselberg, Chairman of the Board of Directors
of Renova Group; Francesco La Camera, Director General of the International Renewable Energy Agency
(IRENA), and others.
The session discussed the significance of energy transition technologies in meeting the increasingly growingelectricity consumption needs, as well as the crucial factors that increase international cooperation in energy projects and the potential for change in the technological landscape of the energy sector, enhance the role of international organizations and financial institutions in fostering investment in energy transition projects.
“Rosatom is a major
national manufacturer of equipment and supplier of low-carbon energy. This
makes the company the key player in Russia's energy transition agenda.Apart from its long-standing focus on nuclear energy,
Rosatom is also a pioneer in the Russian wind energy sector, having
successfully localized the manufacturing of multimegawatt wind turbines. Now,
we are ready to move towards a more powerful and effective platform.
A key factor for the renewable energy industry will be the development of
additional measures to facilitate the achievement of targets set in the General
Scheme for Electricity Facilities until 2042 in terms of renewable energy
sources.
Developing our competencies and deepening our localization are the foundations for our national independence and technological sovereignty,” said Kirill Komarov.
Rosatom’s Wind Energy Division (the managing company is Rosatom
Renewable Energy) is the integrator of wind energy initiatives that effectively fulfills the full set of tasks,
from the design to the maintenance of wind farms. The manufacturing of hubs, nacelles, generators,
and cooling systems for 2.5 MW wind turbines has been arranged at the Atommash facility in Volgodonsk.The localization for
Rosatom's wind farm equipment has reached 85%. To date, approximately 1.2 GW of wind power
capacity have been successfully commissioned. This includes ten wind farms. By
2028, Rosatom aims to have commissioned
wind farms with a combined capacity of over two gigawatts (taking into account
the existing capacities), which will make the division a leader on the Russian renewable energy market.
Russia Renewable Energy Development Association (RREDA) is a nonprofit organization representing the interests of the major and most active participants in the Russian renewable energy and low-carbon hydrogen sectors.RREDA includes companies that produce electricity from renewable sources, RES (Renewable Energy Source) investors and project developers, manufacturers and suppliers of renewable energy equipment, research organizations, and financial institutions that work together to create a favorable investment environment and clear legal frameworks, and to increase awareness about energy transition concepts and technologies to help Russia achieve its objectives for sustainable development.
The effectiveness of the energy and fuel sector is essential for the country, as it contributes to economic stability and prosperity for its citizens. Major companies in this sector are working to innovate production methods and invest in technologies that can help reduce reliance on imports. Rosatom and its companies are actively involved in these efforts.
