Wind energy market in Russia and abroad: Problems and prospects development

Wind energy is a renewable energy source, and wind power is a dynamically developing new branch of non-traditional green energy in Russia and in the world. Despite the sanctions and the unfavourable economic situation in the country, Russian energy specialists are pursuing a course for the wind energy development, supported by government programmes. The difficult situation for the implementation of the green energy programme is linked to objective difficulties: Russia has accumulated a surplus of oil and gas that is not needed in Europe, and Western manufacturers have left the Russian market, without which it is difficult to build new wind turbines. The industry has also accumulated methodological problems - on the choice of a methodology for calculating the efficiency of wind farms and tools for internal and strategic planning. This article is an overview of the amount of energy production from wind farms in Russia and countries around the world.
