The Northwest Russia Renewable Energy Forum is an arena for information exchange, capacity-building, research and innovation, technology and product transfer, as well as investment in renewable energy. The main goals of this first seminar are to disseminate information about the potential for renewable energy on the Kola Peninsula and to remove obstacles (psychological, bureaucratic, economic, technological, and juridical) to implementation of renewable energy in the region.
The Bellona Foundation welcomes renewable energy researchers, companies, power producers, government representatives responsible for energy and industrial development, and environmental NGOs to a seminar.

After years of research, Murmansk plugs wind power into its grid
MURMANSK - Despite the slushy day and late winter chill, ceremonies marking the plug-in of this city’s first wind power device to the electric grid went off like a breeze yesterday. The inclusion of the windmill in Murmansk’s energy mix is critically important because Russian law does not obligate the grid to buy power from the wind power producers, and procedures to include such renewable power devices on the grid are far from spelled out.
