What’s next?
Oil: 1930-1970
Nuclear: after 1970
Wind energy
after 2010
New Sources of
Energy after 2030
Coal: before 1930
Gas: after 1970
Solar Energy
after 2010
New Structure of Energy
Flow
(from Power to Smart)

“Electric World” as a base
of the Future Global Energy System
Electricity is the most qualified type of energy consumption
(wide possibilities for using electricity)
Electric transport is a main part of the infrastructure for the Future
(zero pollutions, independence from oil and gas)
Energy consumers can be energy producers
(new level of economic efficiency for Energy Sector)
Possibility of wireless transport of energy
(new level of energy mobility)
Possibility of energy storage (accumulators, storage batteries)

Risk for Russia
Slowing growth of
economy & export
Growing
competition in
Europe
Economic crisis
Requirement for
Russia
Optimization of export
pipeline projects
New export destinations
in Asia
Reduce dependence on
oil exports
New markets
