MOSCOW, October 4. /TASS/. Global electricity generation at nuclear power plants (NPP) will surge by 37% to 3.7 TWh by 2036, which will expand Russia’s capabilities of exporting peaceful nuclear technologies, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said in the op-ed for the Energy Policy magazine.

"Electric power generation at NPP globally can grow from 2.7 to 3.7 TWh (+37%) by 2036, which provides extra opportunities for exporting Russian technologies in this sphere," Novak noted.

The country has also completed certain groundwork in the hydrogen energy sphere, the official said. Rising demand for low-carbon energy sources also boosts demand for nuclear technologies, where Russia holds solid position and maintains confident global leadership, Novak added.

Increasing the level of energy efficiency of the fuel and energy sector remains among key issues, which will make it possible to solve the whole range of tasks as regards the climatic agenda, de-carbonization and economic growth support, and will save natural energy resources, the official said.

"Implementation of digital technologies and transformation of business processes, and forming the efficient human resources policy with consideration of industry labor market forecasting are also on the agenda," Novak added.
