Operation of 250 MW of energy storage devices in the Far East is planned until 2029 The Government Commission for the Electric Industry of the Russian Federation has set a target date for ordering 250 MW of energy storage devices at the end of 2028 - beginning of 2029, Fyodor Opachi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of System Operators, told reporters on the sidelines of REW-2026. "But we are discussing that since, in fact, Rosti was built in the south for almost six months, therefore it can be built faster," Opadchiy noted. "It's a regulatory problem," Opadchiy replied to the question of whether an investor in the Far East would be identified as part of a competitive selection.
