  1. State University – Higher School of Economics Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge International Foresight Centre Energy sector in Russia:trends and prospects 27 April 2007 Alexander Sokolov Second BRICS Workshop, Rio de Janeiro

  2. CONTENTS • Energy sector in Russia: basic figures and trends • Future challenges • A Foresight Study: Power engineering machine building

  3. Oil Russia is the largest oil producer in the non-OPEC countries, and second biggest in the world after Saudi Arabia. 12% of the global oil production 2006 - 9.7 mln barrels per day (b/d). (2000 – 6.5 mln) Export – 5 mln b/d of oil, 2 mln b/d of refined products All oil trunk pipelines are owned and operated by the state-owned monopolies

  4. Major oil producing regions and pipelines

  5. Crude oil output in Russia 2003-2006,mln barrel a day

  6. Oil sector performance

  7. Capital investment by Russian oil companies

  8. Gas The world biggest natural gas reserves and producer (21.8% of total). The biggest exporter (24.0% of total). Gazprom (94% of Russia´s natural gas production, 25% of the world´s known gas reserves) has a monopoly for the natural gas pipelines and has exclusive right to export natural gas, granted by the federal law On Gas Export.

  9. Major gas producing regions and pipelines

  10. Coal The world’s leader by 375 billion tonnes of geologic reserves (250 - economically recoverable, including 140 billion tonnes of lignite). The seventh largest coal producer in the world (3.8% of total), and the third largest exporter (9.9% of total)

  11. Major coal reserves

  12. Nuclear energy Nuclear energy supply in Russia counted 137 TWh (16% of total Russian electricity output and 5% of global nuclear energy production). Total installed capacity of nuclear reactors is 21,244 MWh. There are plans to increase the number of commercial reactors from 31 to 51. All civil nuclear industry is operated by a holding company Atomprom.

  13. Major nuclear power plants

  14. Share of nuclear power in total electricity Source: OECD

  15. Thermal and Hydro Energy The world fourth largest electricity producer after the USA, China, and Japan. In 2004, Russia produced 930 TWh and exported 20 TWh of electricity. 63% - thermal plants, 21% - hydropower, 16% -nuclear reactors. Russian energy market is dominated by the Unified Energy System. While production and sale will be opened up to competition, transmission and distribution remain under state control

  16. Major Thermal and Hydro Power Plants

  17. Structural reforms - UES 72 regional companies + 32 federal power plants Network companies (state owned) Generating companies (private) Distributing companies (state owned) 7 large exterritorial generating companies + 14 regional ones

  18. Recent trends and future challenges Fast growth of electricity consumption (5-7% a year) Increasing domestic gas prices (now – 4 times lower) Liberalisation of electricity market (2007 – 10%, 2008 – 25%, 2009 – 50%, 2010 – 80%, 2011 – 100%)

  19. Recent trends and future challenges Investment programmes Unified Energy System: 23 TW by 2010 100 TW by 2015 83 bln USD in 2007-2011

  20. Challenges for domestic producers of energy-related equipment Huge investment expected, but: Currently up to 50% of production capacities are conserved Highly deteriorated production facilities (up to 50% of fixed assets, 75% of equipments and machines, 90% of testing equipment) Lack of skilled engineers and workers Age gap in researchers population

  21. Challenges for domestic producers of energy-related equipment Competition at global markets More open domestic markets Diversification of fuels used and shift from gas to other fuels Demand for energy saving and other modern technologies Energy networks development Joining WTO Kyoto protocol

  22. R&D and innovation priorities National socio-economic priorities National S&T priorities Critical technologies Sectoral strategies Sector specific S&T priorities

  23. Identification of national S&T priorities Economic growth, technology safety ICT Nanosystems and material Livig systems Priority areas Innovation products and services Выявление и реализация потребностей Critical technologies Rational use of nature Energy Transport, aviation and space Critical technologies
