Energy Minister Sergey Tsivilev emphasized that Russia will use this potential in stages
Russia has a huge hydroelectric potential, which allows for the construction of a 250 GW hydroelectric power plant, Russian Energy Minister Sergey Tsivilev said in an interview with Rossiya 24 TV channel at the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF – 2024).
“Our country has an enormous hydro potential – we can build hydroelectric power stations for around 250 GW. Today we have built just over 50 GW,” he said.
The minister emphasized that Russia will use this potential in stages.
The Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) was held on the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok on September 3-6, 2024. The main theme of the EEF in 2024 is “Far East 2030. Combining strengths to create new potential.”
The EEF is one of the largest international conferences in Russia. It has been held in the Primorsky Region’s Russky Island in Vladivostok since 2015. The Forum is the initiative of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who decreed that the event be held annually.
The forum’s objectives and goals include promoting the accelerated growth of Russia’s Far East region; assessing its potential for exports; expanding international cooperation in the Asia-Pacific Region; showcasing the investment appeal of the region, its steadily progressing territories, and the Vladivostok free port.
The Roscongress Foundation has served as the Forum’s organizer since 2016. TASS is the general information partner of the EEF.
