In four settlements of the remote Momsky district of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), RusHydro has commissioned modern local energy facilities – automated hybrid power complexes with a total capacity of 7.2 MW, built using modern technologies based on renewable energy, energy storage systems and automated control. One of the power complexes includes the largest solar power plant in the Russian Arctic with an installed capacity of 1.5 MW. This is stated in the company's message.
New power complexes were built in the Yakut villages of Kulun-Elbyut, Honuu, Chumpu-Kytyl and Sasyr, isolated from the unified energy system of Russia. In winter, the temperature in these territories drops below minus 60 degrees, so the reliability of energy supply is of particular importance here.
Each energy complex includes a modern high-efficiency diesel power plant, a solar power plant and an energy storage system combined with a single automated control system. New hybrid power complexes will replace diesel power plants with high fuel consumption that have run out of life. It is planned that the consumption of expensive diesel fuel delivered according to a complex transport scheme will be reduced by a third, annual savings will amount to more than 980 tons.
Energy complex in the village Honuu includes a diesel power plant with a capacity of 3300 kW, a solar power plant with a capacity of 1503 kW, which is the largest solar energy facility in the Russian Arctic, as well as an energy storage system with a capacity of 630 kW and a capacity of 550 kWh. Energy complex in the village Sasyr includes a diesel power plant with a capacity of 600 kW, a solar power plant with a capacity of 233 kW, an energy storage system with a capacity of 125 kW and a capacity of 100 kWh. The power complexes in the villages of Kulun-Elbyut and Chumpu-Kytyl are identical in their parameters, each of them consists of a diesel power plant with a capacity of 250 kW, a solar power plant with a capacity of 103 kW, energy storage systems with a capacity of 60 kW and a capacity of 50 kWh.
The power complexes were built within the framework of the energy service agreement concluded in 2020 between Integrated Energy Solutions LLC and Sakhaenergo JSC, part of the RusHydro Group. The mechanism assumes financing of all works at the expense of investors. The return on investment under the agreement with the Government of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is carried out by saving fuel costs in the tariff for at least 15 years, after which the power facilities will become the property of Sakhaenergo. The operation of the power complexes will be carried out by Sakhaenergo JSC.
The first projects implemented by RusHydro within the framework of the mechanism of energy service contracts were energy complexes in the village of Ulakhan-Kyuel and the city of Verkhoyansk. In general, AGEC using renewable energy sources will be built in 72 settlements in Yakutia and 7 in Kamchatka. At the same time, the total capacity of the new diesel power plants will exceed 90 MW, the capacity of renewable energy power plants will be about 30 MW. All works are planned to be completed in 2023-2025.
