Abstract

The paper concerned with research of natural gas market and itpsilas impact on power generation development in Russia. We can state that the gas share at thermal power plants of Russia, despite a sharp gas price rise (from 50$/1000 m3 currently to 170 $/1000 m3 in 2020), can be decreased only 11-12% in favor of increase in the coal share, which to some extent will enable one to mitigate the cost rise of the electricity and centralized heat produced at TPPs in the natural gas demand zone. The above said can be real, if the future coal generation is based on clean coal, modern technologies.
