Abstract

Russia is rich in different kinds of energy resources; however, the largest share in electrical energy generation belongs to natural gas. As the result of growing energy consumption the gasgenerated power is not capable to completely satisfy the country’s demand in electric power. Thus, to secure energy safety of the country it is necessary to diversify all sources of power and energy while reducing natural gas consumption. The only power resource that can currently compete with natural gas on the domestic market is coal. Abundance of this fuel type and a wide range of its applications can secure long-term energy safety of Russia.
