The RREDA brings together generation companies, renewable energy project developers, equipment manufacturers and suppliers, R&D centres and financial institutions in developing the use of renewable energy sources (RES) and promoting investment in this area. Gazprom Neft will be represented on the RREDA by its Gazpromneft-Energoservice subsidiary.

Gazprom Neft has been consistently developing RES projects throughout its various enterprises in recent years, including building a 1 MW solar-powered electricity station at its Omsk Refinery in 2019, generation from which more than covers energy consumption by the plant’s administrative building. Plans to increase capacity to 20 MW are currently under consideration. Solar-power cells are also being used at the company’s filling stations.
