来源: RussiaTodayRussia wastes as much energy as France or the UK consume while the World Bank says it could save up to 45% of the energy it uses. Since Dmitry Medvedev made energy efficiency a key national goal by 2020, producers of energy saving lamps have thrust Russia into the spotlight.
According to experts, the residential market holds the greatest potential for energy saving.
Heating in most Russian households is centralized and is being pumped into apartments for half the year. The only way to regulate the temperature in your flat is to use the little window – a fortochka – and waste the heat.
The World Bank’s report suggests, with energy efficient programs in place, Russia could save around $100 billion annually. For 4 year the International Finance Corporation has been trying to make Russian companies invest in modernizing their production.
Experts say the payback period takes about 2 or 3 years, and to become energy efficient Russia needs over $300 billion of initial investment. But as the financial crisis rages, at least individuals can make a start.
