This paper explores the critical question of the sustainability of Russiansolar energy initiatives in the absence of governmental financial support. Thestudy aims to determine if Russian energy companies can maintain operations inthe solar energy sector without relying on direct state subsidies.Methodologically, the analysis utilizes established investment metrics such asNet Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Discounted PaybackPeriod (DPP), tailored to reflect the unique technical and economic aspects ofRussian solar energy facilities and to evaluate the influence ofsector-specific risks on project efficiency, using a rating approach. Weexamined eleven solar energy projects under ten different scenarios tounderstand the dynamics of direct state support, exploring variations insupport cessation, reductions in financial assistance, and the projects'resilience to external risk factors. Our multi-criteria scenario assessmentindicates that, under the prevailing market conditions, the Russian solarenergy sector is not yet equipped to operate efficiently without ongoing statefinancial subsidies. Interestingly, our findings also suggest that the solarenergy sector in Russia has a greater potential to reduce its dependence onstate support compared to the wind energy sector. Based on these insights, wepropose energy policy recommendations aimed at gradually minimizing directgovernment funding in the Russian renewable energy market. This strategy isdesigned to foster self-sufficiency and growth in the solar energy sector.

Would Russian solar energy projects be feasible independent of state subsidies?
