Abstract

The Kaliningrad Oblast experiences severe power shortages. State of the heat and power sector of the Exclave is evaluated as very complicated, largely inconsistent with the requirements of modern standards for the organization and functioning of electric power systems, and largely dependent on the specific geopolitical situation. The present review considers: (i) the differences between social media outcomes regarding the Baltic NPP and presents possible scenarios that could exist in the future as a result of certain policy decisions, (ii) current status of the Region׳s energy sector and possibilities of its transition towards environmental sustainability by means of renewable energy, solid and gaseous biofuels, and local peat, and (iii) necessity of buildings renovation in the Kaliningrad Oblast.
