Production of electric energy from renewable energy sources
Green energy generation in Russia is presented in annual dynamics from 2017 to 2020. The five table rows break down total production volumes by specific types of renewable energy sources, with hydropower and solar power plants highlighted separately. The indicator is measured in gigawatt-hours, allowing for an assessment of the actual scale of clean generation nationwide
