yes, there are several such stations. i love it because i was directly involved, oh, in the design of construction, which can be considered one of them. here are the nizhny bureyskaya and bureyskaya stations, but there are stations that are beloved due to their appearance and beauty. if you want, among these are the cherkesskaya hydroelectric power station and the sayano-shushenskaya hydroelectric power station. you’ve probably been there and seen that these are not just energy facilities. it can be said to be a work of art. if you look at the russian energy system, what is the share of hydropower in it? but if speaking about the installed capacity, it is about 20%, while the output, for example, in siberia last year our output at gaz was almost 50%, 49.5. now let’s introduce

someone whom we have already met, but so far only briefly, nikolai rogolev, not only the rector of the moscow energy institute, but also a member of the international committee of the global energy prize. whose expertise we will need today more than once or twice in europe , we discussed this in the last film. in principle, the potential of hydropower has been selected at 90 percent. and with us and with us, i think in in the european part it has been well chosen, but in siberia and the far east this potential exists. now let’s identify another extremely important topic, which is the background. for everything that we are talking about here today, russia will build it all, despite all the stuffing and machinations. that's great, that's great, that's great. so i will find the largest reservoir in the east of the country, the sayano-shushenskaya hydroelectric power station, our first series of this cycle began, the world watershed at the same time. abroad, we then visited the waterfalls of iguazu in south america

and of course, until recently, we need the world’s largest hydroelectric power station and taipu on the border of brazil and paraguay right on the dam, i’m crossing from brazil to paraguay. that was the border, what the first global study. we started it after the european union put forward a theory that water is also evil. they say the mud reservoir emits a terrible miasma in the form of greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide methane, that is, therefore, truly renewable energy. should be exclusively in the sun and wind in our first series and scientists. and here, if russia and south america these eu theories about hydropower have convincingly proven that they are not based on unfair competition this year. at the beginning of this year, at the first ever global energy conference from the regional global south america, a daughter in a discussion with the european commission,

a foreign member of the international committee put the award, is hydropower traditionally a renewable source for you? yes , although there are such new twists here, when some people said that it was due to methane emissions. this is not true, but if you take a broad look at the different types of hydroelectric power they should be recognized as renewable energy sources. so what, the head of the european commission took back her words. well, firstly, according to current times. she prefaces any thought with the russian energy mantra, blackmailing us europeans. the union opened its eyes on the other side when it comes to money, but let’s look again in africa, chebur, the chinese active here built in ethiopia an academy for advanced management training for the whole of africa one of the energy sector's priorities. why is it clear, but naturally the future leaders here in africa do not forget for a second that they have well , uh, work on the economic development of this continent, which is and is yet to come, and now, when it comes to budget distribution

, it is super promising for the energy industry in africa, it turns out that european ideas, hydropower - this is still good. we are already massively mobilizing funds for energy projects from solar hydra. as a sort of footnote. it's interesting that the ursula foundation didn't mention the wind at all. maybe she read the article by the british researcher david, which thundered in february of this year, translating numerous calculations and graphs. he writes, the true cost of wind energy is staggering. it is astronomical, more than six times the cost of gas-generated energy, which is available around the clock and in any weather. well, who will pay in the readers, but in fact , as we have just seen, there are even more in africa , but let’s return to the fact that there in africa and the commission still has a positive attitude towards hydropotential, but how could it be otherwise for reference in the twenty-second year of hydroelectric power stations in the world, apparently, as many as equal to five sayanshu. at the same time , in africa, 93% of the hydro potential is undeveloped.

a word from a participant in another conference of this year, global energy, also in that same africa. i understand. it was just in ethiopia that we have 90% of electricity generated by hydroelectric power stations , the remaining 8%, wind and 2% by thermal springs, because if you think about it , something extra. so this is nuclear energy. yes, it’s really unpleasant, probably like that you hear the germans. we remembered in the african context. this is the reason that the prologue to the current eastern economic form was the russia-africa summit , soviet and russian specialists over many years designed and built large energy centers in angola. egypt, ethiopia and other countries on the continent, with a combined capacity of four point six gigabytes, created a quarter of all hydropower capacity. who has already said in a speech by the president of russia and new

projects to provide americans, inexpensive, reliable and environmentally friendly sources. more than 30 in 16 countries , a wide range of services is offered to african partners by our company rushydro, from the design and supply of equipment to modernization and construction of new turnkey generation facilities gazprom rosneft lukoil zarubezh neft. this is our company, which is engaged in the development of oil and gas fields in ligeria, egypt, cameroon , nigeria, republic of congo, rusatom, our leading company in the field of nuclear energy, is building a nuclear power plant the daba power plant in egypt was therefore very worried about this in the west, although the furring policy magazine in the usa itself admitted what the quote was about. hi-hipo-axis, that is , hypocrisy in the question of how europeans are literally selling alternative energy to africans.

just look at the germans' flagship project to produce hydrogen for furniture. a deal worth $10 billion, slightly less than gdp per bib, will include a desalination plant, but only for the production of hydrogen, and this in a country experiencing an unprecedented crisis. and here we need another footnote about that same green hydrogen. look here we have an interesting solar- powered device on board, close the solar panel. everything stopped, we opened the fan again. so, go is that you take energy from the air, the sun, the wind, and direct this energy to what we all remember from the course in school electrolysis. remember, the cathode splits water. everything is very clean for oxygen and hydrogen. everything is very beautiful. and in principle, this technology has the right to existence. actually, here in the far east we had

a conversation about this once. you can correctly say that you can get hydrogen from gas from coal. well, today it’s expensive. you said it's there. yes, green hydrogen. this is 7-8 times more expensive at 3.5 at 6:00 it can be even higher. here. um, well, technology changes. today it is six times more expensive, and tomorrow it will be six times cheaper. but that’s tomorrow, and the europeans want to insist that it be today and absolutely, not considering the price, which, well, is not affordable for those who don’t have subsidies, like europe, meanwhile, there are still global energy materials, and since africa, our population growth is such that our economic growth cannot keep up with it. if

everything continues as it is, in 10 years we will hear about the same shortage of electricity to understand electricity in africa, half the population of russia with its wonderful collection, including a hydroelectric power station opposite electricity, is missing. you can even export, but we won’t relax and in order to make everything we’ll talk about completely clear, we’ll further define one turn. today we have already been to the far east many times. and now the gateway to the east is the caucasus. welcome to karachay-cherkessia. so at the end of april in karachay-cherkessia, the commissioning ceremony of the krasnogorsk small hydroelectric power stations began. hpps were launched in the united states. the hydraulic units of the krasnogorsk small hydroelectric power stations reached their nominal capacity in russia due to the sanction of problems, at least almost everything and so

was his word to the minister of russia always america we have there are uh, large plants that could happen. here was the order and that was it. it turned out quickly that construction began in the nineteenth year, and already in the twenty-first the kuban river was blocked by a hydroelectric power station designed by the russian hydroelectric institute, which was part of the system. moscow region hydroproject is one construction contractor. 148 and 31 m high is a beauty, but in the european part of the country everything is close. eh, in the far east the problem is not only about distances. how is the far eastern energy market fundamentally different from the rest of the country? at one time, when the unified energy system was reformed, management

decisions changing the soviet form of management, when the first price zone , the european part, the siberian part, the market came, competition came. between types of generation, a decision was made regarding the far east. well, let’s leave everything like that for now and then we’ll think about what to do with it. unfortunately. uh, well, this then stretched out, uh, for many years, uh, and uh, eventually led to the fact that even today, given the growth in energy consumption in the far east, a situation has arisen where we we cannot turn off our station even for repairs. ahead of us is a detailed story about what the company rushydro is going to build in the far east. well, that means installing all these solar panels and newfangled european- style windmills here. after all, we already know the price of all this in every sense. this is what our further research and follow-up is about.

if you want more, i want it, but this is kelp that you can eat, add carrots , egg with mayonnaise. we are doing in our far east, the increase

in water temperature is degrading and destruction. this is a japanese infection. now there is also another topic such that he told all the troubles. reduced greenhouse gas emissions by almost 46%. we continue to work within the framework of the montreal protocol, aimed at protecting the ozone layer, according to the national cadastre for 2021, russia managed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by almost 46% compared to the 1990 base, secondly, there is a terrible drought, this is what life has been like in the last 3 years, both africa and

south america are more phenomenal. this is a decrease in sea surface temperature in equatorial pacific ocean, changing the direction of winds that usually carry moisture. and here it is, but how do south american scientists explain it? we have already seen that due to the effect of lanine, there is less and less precipitation and they are parasitic , accordingly the soils dry out quickly, because the temperature rises more than usual, but of course, there is another factor, namely climate change , that is, climate change due to industrial emissions. these are still different things. well, of course, we read different ones that are fresh. the report is quite authoritative researchers in south america, climate change is not the cause, well, in the third from latin america, again in africa, africa is called the dark continent, but sometimes it was carried out like this, gentle, like these folk dresses. africa is soldered with water, that it cannot be ironized at all do not

penetrate. you also need to understand the problems. here i am now flying from an abyss, long ago an artificial eucalyptus forest, which is now almost high. and it would be okay if only here. just look what happened in california in the last few years. well , how can it be here without hydroelectric power plants as hydroelectric power plants, their interests , no agitation against hydroelectric power stations. well, in africa i’m flying further, it will be fine. you can see well, you can even see artificial reservoirs. here it is below me, such a scarce reservoir.

there is snow in the mass secret, and we are filming at the end of april, the kuban river is overflowing , this is a flood. it’s just that if there were no hydroelectric power station, in this case also a hydroelectric complex, then there would be much more water. more precisely, here in the caucasus the people have known for thousands of years how to protect themselves from floods. here in the far east the residents of migrants are in the third. well, in the fourth or fifth generation there was no experience, however. the trouble is that now even those who already seem to be several generations away. that’s it, i realized we’ve become content with new realities. now i’ll come down to you again , so here it’s 38 cm, the difference is the highest 1872. in general, where it continues. this is the amur , for which rivers do floods occur regularly throughout the region last year ? for example, we had a flood in the penza region, where the city of tynda even sank, then there is what it is. this is a city that was designed by the best soviet

designers in the seventies and eighties of the last century. that is, when there was already a fairly large set of statistical data. some zones are flooded and some are not, but last year even those that should not have drowned recently drowned . they have become more frequent since the thirteenth year , almost repeating every year. here it is on the graph. yes, there are a number of observations since 1903 . and we see that the last years have come out yes to higher planes. after the thirteenth year. it is even higher yes, the japanese or whose other industry and industry crap there and we will assume that it doesn’t matter, the investigation was here and we read the economic damage from the flood of the thirteenth year, and different levels of budgets from the budget, and a specific household where the chicken coop was flooded and ending with the federal budget and the regional budget, and only in the thirteenth year there was, uh, about 80, but billion rubles. that is, how is this comparable to the amount of three large hydroelectric power stations, humanity has not yet come up with a single way to deal with pavlovsk other than

accumulating these floods. there's a reservoir in the puddles. a word to our colleagues in the far east. we are in the north, in the amur region, next to me is the same zeya river , which regularly becomes a source of trouble for thousands of residents of the amur region. however , such a video here cannot be said about it, where is the power that destroys roads, demolishes houses and bridges. in general, they wash away everything in their path that is holding it back; to find out the answer you need climb several kilometers higher at the foot of the rocky gorge zeya gate. here, almost 60 years ago, amur builders forever blocked the path of the insidious elements and practically chained it to the reinforced concrete castle that the dam knew.

here the kgs turn on from it are still kept in the safe hands of the power engineers. now on your screens there is a photograph of a unique expedition, just to the ground even before the revolution, when they first started talking about shortening the local leashes, but realistically talking about the construction of a hydroelectric power station in the far east and specifically about construction. at least it became the first year in rezesia only in the mid-fifties. the first-born of the far eastern energy industry, the zeya hydroelectric power station, the hymn river gornaya, wayward, stormy, one fact, 72% of the total annual flow occurs in just 2 months, july and august, and this huge volume of water passes through this section between the ridges and the sacrachaton, resulting in a lot. summer 3 1/2 m is the same as 850 floors stacked on top of each other, let us recall exactly at the confluence of the amur river. and izi is a regional center, blagoveshchensk is opposite on that on the banks of the amur, the chinese heikh with the governor of the russian amur region, vasily orlov , continue the conversation on board the ship,

which follows the format of the border. but it’s true, they say that this part of the chinese city of hai-ha would not exist if it weren’t for the zeya hydroelectric power station. the truth in these words went. the fact is that what is now opposite us is an island that was regularly flooded until then while soviet builders had not yet built a hydroelectric power station on the zeya river, if not for the soviet hydroelectric power station, then, well, at least a quarter there was probably no chinese mountain. and the situation of the chinese. and what about the upper reaches of the hydroelectric station and behind it the third largest in our country after the bratsk and krasnoyarsk reservoirs, which regularly restrain the destructive power of the river events in 2013. a clear confirmation of this, the largest in the last 100 years became a test of strength for the structure , the water level of the reservoir rose to historical mark 319 m. three more and water. there would be no heating of the dam here, when

these marks are reached according to the rules and according to project, but all the valves should have been open and the flow to lower f. and in this case it would have been about 7,500. m³/thought only about china. and if the entire leash went along the river, without having a storage tank there, that is , there would be not only these villages. by the way, they weren’t washed away, they weren’t just sunk, blagoveshchensk was played by the zeya hydroelectric power station. this once again proves that our predecessors made the right decision to build the first large hydroelectric power station in the far east on this site, by the way, an interesting coincidence its construction. nadia coincided with the filming of a famous film. you are welcome to visit us in kolyma. no, it’s better if you come to us. but now it’s interesting, just in kolyma. this is a new girl.

the ust srednekanskaya hydroelectric power station on the kolyma river, which is also the far eastern federal district, is a miracle hydroelectric power station and construction and engineering 10 permafrost is up to 300 m deep, but everything was built and for understanding, according to the project, the nizhne-buriysk and sling-zhimskoe hydroelectric power stations have a total useful reservoir capacity of volume 8.8 cubic kilometers. this is almost 20%. a fifth of the useful volume of the existing gas reservoir in the amur region. that is, what kind of additional flood control effect should this have? if we add an effect here. that's uh development. uh, well, the industry that allows you to build hydroelectric power stations, uh, produce equipment, that is, the multiplier effect of hydroelectric power stations, they are recognized everywhere europe north america asia africa latin america, who do you think will be the leading builder of new hydroelectric power stations in the usa they say if you have a hammer? solution? consists of a hammer, i work a lot in

southeast asia, i see great potential in indonesia philippines malaysia well, a separate topic is china, the largest gas in the world. now in china and not on the border of brazil, it is clear and characteristic that the chinese began to invest in hydroelectric power plants after they were concerned with environmental problems after the first industrial development was founded in the casa, by the way, it was precisely hydroelectric power stations where this was possible that began to account for a significant part of the chinese investments and renewable energy in that very africa where the heavenly kingdom, let natural in their own interests pushes consumption through industrial development , however. let's go back to russia. we are looking at the reservoir of the upper bureya hydroelectric power station in the amur region, and you noticed one picturesque one, of course. well, of course, the feature will be made easier. what a strange story the expanse of water beyond the taiga is like this between them. this is rocky slope, or what? this is what the bureyskaya hydroelectric power station reservoir is; it is regulated annually, thereby creating a reserve

backwater capacity for meeting the new spring tent. that is, what kind of leash will not be. it will simply fill the reservoir and yes , it’s very fortunate that your paintings hang as they do. it’s easy to explain, it means that here is the bureya hydroelectric power station if the flood stopped it, but if suddenly something else happens, nizhny bureya will insure it. yes, it’s absolutely true, as far as i even understand, that here , from a technical point of view, this is not even considered a river, but the beginning of the reservoir is next, that is, floods on the river. bureev, in principle, are the same as there on the amur or zeya, but experts know about them about the population of which they don’t see any flooding. yes, in the lower reaches , after the construction of the bureyskaya hpp , no flooding was observed. but zeya still has only one hydroelectric power station. despite all the flood control measures and the riot of the river, zeya still cannot be underestimated. and although in the north and regions. it has been held back by a dam for many years now.

it is almost 600 km away from here. the river again feels complete freedom, it comes from the shore, as if it dries up, then it fluently drowns everything around so constantly, to contain tree. one dam is not enough downstream the river is strengthened by large tributaries of the salimzha, the deva great feather and others, which regularly overflow their banks. what to do, other than the option of building a hydroelectric power station , it is difficult to propose any other way out, and therefore this idea is being seriously considered , the new nizhnezeyskaya one should help in simplifying the capricious elements. the hydroelectric power station has been thinking about this project for a long time and now they intend to bring it to fruition. now we have already immersed ourselves in the material, several important figures. so, the flood control volume of the reservoir, the existing rural hydroelectric power station - this is 11 cubic kilometers, the planned nizhny zeyskaya and anzhiznsky will add another 7.5 m³ to this so that zei sindzhi will be under control by 85% and the destructive power of floods under the coastal territories

will decrease by 4.7 times and even in distant khabarovsk by 20 %. and blagoveshchenko is already very close. you can sleep peacefully in the village , yes, yes. this is where the soviet union had a plan to sleep earlier since the days of the guelro, when the soviet union actually flowed from one construction project of large uh, hydropower to the next construction and uh, the whole were on generations and families of hydropower workers , in fact, moving from one construction site to another construction site here. eh, well, my personal dream and the hope of the entire rushydra company is that we will resume such a plan. well, and another caveat in our far east, while all this is isolated in the russian energy system. that the bell rang. guys, i dare to assume that this bell is coming from anywhere in russia but to the west of ermak timofeevich in the krasnodar territory, after all, the eastern and western systems. while they live

two parallel lives. you are right that on os-vostok works in isolation, but at the same time, there is still a kind of coordination, but it’s precisely the development program scheme that lays down the construction of lines that will allow us to connect. now, when we connect the far east to siberia, we will have an electronic pension, so if it is produced in the east, there may be an approach. eh, that means in egyptian and vice versa, so there is no such attachment. we must do this. well, and from the exotic at the moscow institute of power engineering at the department of hydraulics, now this, and why in solar panels kayaks? motor yes, yes. wow i understand of course. well, of course, there was still a story about this final part of our film.

in russia today is the second day of elections, polling stations have opened in 65 constituent entities of the federation voting will last until september 10 inclusive russia we have to elect more than 20 governors and almost the same number of regional parliaments in several constituent entities of the federation and additional elections of deputies to the state duma muscovites elect a mayor residents of the moscow region governor voting takes place in face-to-face and remote formats. our correspondent evgeniy nippe is working at one of the polling stations in the capital. he is now in direct contact with the studio. evgeniy, welcome.
