Use of renewables in energy and transport

Favourable climatic conditions make the Trans‑Baikal Territory one of Russia’s leading regions in terms of insolation (amount of sunshine). In October 2024, Nornickel signed an EPC contract for the construction of a 518‑kW solar power plant at the existing rotation camp of its production site in the Trans‑Baikal Territory. Nornickel plans to commission the facility in the second half of 2025, becoming the first mining company in the region to start using renewables. In addition, the Company is considering the use of alternative‑energy dump trucks at its production sites in the Trans‑Baikal Territory and the Murmansk Region.
