Abstract
This chapter presents an analysis of how the new Russian support policy for renewable energy investments changes the expected profitability of renewable energy investments in Russia. A comparative analysis of investment profitability in the before and after support policy cases is presented for a wind farm investment to illustrate the effect of the policy. This chapter is among the first to comparatively analyze the effect of the Russian renewable energy support mechanism on investment project profitability.
