Lifting subsidies for green energy in the US shows that this country, unlike the European Union, is returning to a pragmatic policy, said Igor Sechin, Chief Executive Officer of Rosneft.
The Company's CEO noted that in the US, where electricity consumption has returned to growth after a decade of stagnation, the new administration is already revising its energy strategy in favor of traditional sources. For example, President Trump recently signed a series of executive orders aimed at revitalizing the coal industry. Simultaneously with regulations' mitigation, the US Department of Energy has raised its forecast for US coal production this year by 6%.
“The lifting of “green energy” subsidies in the US shows that unlike the European Union this country is coming back to a pragmatic policy. This has already led to the fact that the cost of electricity in Europe today is 5 times higher than in the US,” the CEO of Rosneft said at the Energy Panel at the XXVIII St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
