Coal Supplies for Russia's Electric Power Industry Projected to Grow Nearly 30% by 2050
Coal deliveries to Russia's power sector are expected to reach 90-100 million tons by 2030 and 85-125 million tons by 2050, according to TASS.
Coal supplies for Russia's electric power industry are projected to increase by almost 30 percent by 2050, according to a report from TASS, the Russian state news agency.
Deliveries are expected to reach between 90 million and 100 million tons by 2030, and between 85 million and 125 million tons by 2050, TASS reported.
The wide range given for the 2050 estimate, 85 million to 125 million tons, reflects uncertainty in longer-term forecasting, which can depend on variables such as energy demand growth, the pace of any shift toward alternative power sources, and broader economic conditions.
Coal remains part of Russia's domestic electricity generation mix alongside natural gas, nuclear power, and hydroelectric power. The report did not detail what share of total Russian coal production or exports these power-sector figures represent, nor did it specify which regions or power plants would receive the additional supplies.
No additional details on the methodology behind the forecast, or the timeline for reaching the interim 2030 target, were included in the original report.
