The solar power plant will provide "clean" electricity to 16,000 apartments or 5.3 thousand households and will cost 1.8 billion rubles. The construction of the SES will be handled by RES South LLC (part of the Hevel Group of Companies).
Today, a meeting was held on the site of the regional Congress Hall on the issue of registration of a land plot for the construction of the solar power plant "SES Avangard-1" with a capacity of 15 MW in the city of Omsk. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Economy of the Omsk Region, the Omsk City Administration, the Ministry of Property Relations of the Omsk Region, the Regional Development and Investment Agency and the RES South company.
It should be noted that the main activity of the Hevel Group is the production of electricity from renewable energy sources, including those generated by solar, wind, and geothermal power plants, including activities to ensure their operability. The company has successfully implemented two large-scale investment projects in the region - the construction of solar power plants in Novovarshavsky and Russian-Polyansky municipal districts of the Omsk region.
The creation of the new energy facility became possible thanks to the support of the Ministry of Economy of the region, the Omsk City Administration and the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency. Thus, the Agency's specialists selected potential land plots for the project and inspected them with representatives of the investor. According to the results of the inspection, a site was previously selected on the territory of the city of Omsk, adjacent to Dokovskaya Street.
Earlier, Omsk Region Governor Alexander Burkov noted that the region's movement towards "green" energy through the introduction of alternative energy sources is extremely important from the point of view of economics and concern for the future of nature.
"An estimated area of 40-45 hectares will be required for a solar power plant. During the implementation of the project, new jobs will be created: up to 100 people during the construction of the station, 18 for its further maintenance. The total amount of tax deductions during the 15 years of operation of the SES to the budgets of different levels will amount to about 650 million rubles. The implementation of projects for the construction of solar generation facilities will improve the reliability and quality of electricity supply in the region, as well as help preserve the environment and achieve the region's sustainable development goals," said Dmitry Kalachin, Head of the Project Planning and Support Department.
