Abstract
Solar energy is one of the priority directions for the development of alternative energy. This is facilitated by climatic characteristics. Buryatia has up to 300 sunny days a year. The amount of solar radiation in Buryatia is 4-5 kWh per m2/day (Fig. 1), and the duration of sunshine is more than 2000 hours per year (Fig. 2). Three investment companies are already operating in Buryatia: LLC “Avelar Solar Technology”, LLC “Complex Industry” and LLC “Green Energy Rus” (Table 2), which in the period of 2017-2019 have already built 5 solar power plants (SPP) with a capacity of 70 MW and a total cost of 8.7 billion rubles (more than $115 mln1). To date, the share of SPP capacity of the total capacity of Buryatia is 4.81%. Until 2022, it is planned to commission another 7 SPPs with a capacity of 155 MW, thus increasing the total capacity to 225 MW (Table 2) and the share to 14%, if the situation with CHPP-2 does not change. All SPP capacities are being introduced into the general energy system of the Southern energy district of the Republic of Buryatia, and will not be isolated energy systems.
