Why are oil workers invest in solar energy

In June, the International Organization of International Renewable Energy Agency announced a report on the profitability of renewable energy. The study showed that solar energy every month is cheaper than electricity obtained from objects of coal, gas and diesel stations.

So over the past 9 years, the price of solar energy has collapsed from 17 (10.7 rubles) to 3 cents per kWh. (1.89 rubles), putting the country on the sale of hydrocarbons.

Each of them in different ways cope with a new challenge.

For example, Saudi Arabia, which is one of the leaders in oil production and uses it to generate electricity, decided to diversify risks and invested $ 5 billion in the creation of solar power plants. In the future, part of the electricity produced plans to export, as well as increase investments of up to $ 200 billion by 2030.

The Rupia also plans to invest 210 billion in the solar energy of India and 2.5 trillion yuan is going to invest China.

However, not only countries are being prepared for the sunset of the era of hydrocarbons.
