Use of renewable energy sources

In 2024, the share of electricity generated from renewable sources reached 54.4% for the Group. This is slightly lower than in the previous year but exceeds the target of 46% set by the Environmental and Climate Change Strategy.

Given the extreme climatic conditions at some of the Group’s production sites, the potential for solar, geothermal, and wind energy remains limited. At the same time, the Company is exploring opportunities to develop additional renewable generation capacity. For more details, please see the Decarbonisation Projects sub‑section.

In the longer term, Nornickel aims to achieve an energy mix that combines nuclear, thermal, and hydro generation.
