Prospective directions of Russian electric power industry development within the framework of transition to new energy technologies

In 2011-2012 The parity of the cost of energy of thermal power plants on fossil fuels and the cost of energy from wind farms and solar power stations had come. Since 2017, the capacities of introduced renewable energy sources in the world have exceeded the volumes of commissioned capacities of traditional energy. The transition from traditional energy technologies to renewable energy sources (RES), which are becoming more profitable from an economic point of view and can minimize the negative impact of energy on the environment, is being phased. This article gives a review of the prospects of application of the combined schemes using renewable energy sources to generate energy. The paper discusses the most important areas of energy development in our country
