 Russia is committed to achieving significant wind energy goals as per the targets set by the Paris Climate Agreement. According to the country’s national energy strategy, 4.5% of all electricity in 2020 should come from renewable sources.

Russia has one of the largest landmasses and many areas with excellent wind conditions. The country aims to generate 3.6GWh of windpower by 2024. To achieve this goal, Russia has established severable auctions for windfarm capacity to be installed by 2020.
