The sides discussed the prospects of further cooperation between St.Petersburg and Germany in the area of power industry.
In particular, they discussed the possible participation of German investors in the creation of wind-driven power plants in the Finnish Gulf to supply the electricity for the town of Kronstadt. Implementation of this project, according to O.B.Trishkin, would allow this district of St.Petersburg to become a so-called “Green City”.
