CCTV interviewed Alexey Teksler, the First Deputy Minister of Energy of Russian Federation. He talked about how Russia plans to implement the conditions of the Paris Climate Change Agreement.

"That is why Russia is actively working on renewables. We have a special program and its main principle is localisation. We focus on producing elements of renewable energy systems here locally in Russia. Given a certain level of localisation we will boost the development of renewable energy systems," he said.

"In particular in the next 6-10 years we plan to generate at least 8 gigawatts more of energy from renewable resources, with 6 gigawatts going to the wholesale market, and at least 2 gigawatts to regional retail markets. We have relevant stimulating programs for that...so we hope to make an input to development of these technologies."
