日前, Rostovteploelektroproekt工程公司的首席專家表示,2011年,俄羅斯的第一座太陽能電站將可能在北高加索的度假城市基斯洛沃茨克開工。
     該太陽能電站總發電能力為13兆瓦。屆時,將同時提供電力和供暖。
     此項目投資總額為3億盧布（約合9900萬美元），其中30%將來自于國家預算,而剩余的70％將由私人投資者負責。
     當前,工程公司表示，把電站設計修建在基斯洛沃茨克的經濟效益是最大的.原因在于, 電站所在地的太陽輻射強度是該地區最高的。
    一旦電站竣工, 其將為基斯洛沃茨克周邊地區提供電力和供熱。 而電站發電后的熱水將被儲存在于專用的貯存設備,以待陰天時候使用。

                Construction of first Russian solar plant may start in 2011
    Construction of the first Russian solar plant may start in the North Caucasus resort city of Kislovodsk in 2011, the chief specialist of the Rostovteploelektroproekt engineering company said on Thursday.
    The general capacity of the solar plant will be 13 MW. The plant will produce both heating and electricity.
    The project investment volume is 3 billion rubles ($99 million), 30% of this amount will come from the state budget and private investors are expected provide the remaining 70%.
    The engineering company said locating the solar plant in Kislovodsk is most profitable because the intensity of solar radiation is the highest in the region.
    The solar plant will provide areas surrounding Kislovodsk with electricity and heating.Hot water will be stored in special storage facilities to be used when overcast weather prevails.
