Russia Oil Production & Consumption
Crude oil production fell by 2.6% in 2024 to 524 Mt, after a 1.5% decrease in 2023; it increased by 2%/year over 2020-2022. Prior to that, it had increased by 1.3%/year between 2014 and 2019 and dropped by around 8% in 2020. Russia is the world's second largest crude oil producer, after the USA and slightly ahead of Saudi Arabia.
Russia cut oil production by 500 kb/d (-5%) until the end of 2024, as part of the OPEC+ reduction of 1.16 mb/d in April 2023. Russia lifted the restrictions in January 2025.

Russia Power Production & Consumption
Total electricity consumption has increased by around 3%/year since 2020, reaching 1 024 TWh in 2024. It increased slightly between 2010 and 2019 (1%/year).
Industry is the main electricity consumer with 38% of the total (stable since 2010), ahead of the residential sector with 18% (+3 pp since 2010) and services with 17% (-3 pp since 2010). Transport accounts for 6% of total electricity consumption, i.e. a significant share compared to other countries, due to the strong presence of public transport.

Russia Renewable in % Electricity Production
The Government target for 2020 of a 2.5% share of wind and solar in the power mix (State Programme on Energy Efficiency and Energy Development, 2014) was not reached (0.3% in 2020). In 2021, the authorities announced plans to award RUB 360bn (US$4.9bn) of state support for renewable projects through 2035, with the aim of adding 12 GW of renewables by 2035. In 2021, the Ministry of Energy announced that it will seek to increase the share of renewables to 31.5% of the power mix by 2050 (of which 19% from hydropower, and 12.5% from wind and solar).

Russia GHG emissions and CO2 emissions
Inits first NDC (2020), the country set the target to cut GHG emissions to 70% of their 1990 level in 2030 to 2.2 GtCO2eq, taking into account the maximum possible absorptive capacity of forests. In 2023, GHG emissions were 14% below their 1990 level, according to EDGAR estimates, at 2.67 GtCO2eq, which represents half of the NDC objective.
