Energy cooperation in Asia to reduce Russian energy deficit - view
IRKUTSK, August 6 (Itar-Tass) -- Energy Cooperation in Asia will
reduce the energy deficit in Russia. This understanding is promoting at
the Baikal economic forum and its annual international energy conference,
Director of the Energy Systems Institute named after Melentyev at the
Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, corresponding member of
RAS Nikolai Voropay said.
According to the scientist, energy consumption in Russia's eastern
regions in 2030 may double against 2010 to 400-470 billion kWh, including
that in the eastern part - to 290-335 billion kWh. Emerging shortage of
electricity may be reduced not only by construction of new power plants,
but also by development of inter-state energy relations in Northeast Asia.
For example, in the summer, when electricity consumption in eastern Russia
is at a minimum, in the neighbouring Asian countries, there is a peak
winter consumption season - right on the contrary. Energy integration of
Asian countries will smooth schedules of consumption in each of them.
"Now, Russia's policy keeps the eastern vector, and the Baikal
Economic Forum and its international energy conference are of interest for
North-East Asia's countries," Voropay said.
The scientist confirms that integration of Asian countries, including
in energy, may require more than a decade.
"Europe was approaching the EU for decades. In our region integration
is much more complicated for differences in mentalities and historical
issues, though it may be more productive. North-East Asia's countries may
add to each other in resources, capital, technologies, labour force," he
said.
Meetings of scientists, including within the framework of the Baikal
forum, have been quite fruitful already. For example, the Energy Systems
Institute began to work on several projects in cooperation with the
Institute of Electric Power in Beijing. They study issues concerning
construction, production, transmission and distribution, new technologies
and power management, as well as power systems reliability.
