On July 11 the official opening ceremony of the 15 MW Yuzhno-Sukhokumskaya solar power plant, the first major solar power generation facility in the region, took place in the municipality.

The station consists of 40 thousand solar modules and occupies an area of over 30 hectares (the same area is occupied by 40 football fields). Investments in the project totals RUB 1.5 billion. The projected volume of electricity generation makes 20 million kWh per year, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 7,000 tons per year.

The project has created approx. 60 jobs during construction and 13 permanent jobs. It has also engaged local contractors.

The company is considering further expansion of solar generation capacity in the region, including the construction of local and distributed generation facilities using renewable energy sources.

The introduction of new solar generation facilities will contribute to the sustainable social and economic development of the Republic of Dagestan, improve the quality and reliability of electricity supply to consumers, as well as preserve the unique natural and climatic conditions of the region.
