Interesting play here with the renewal of Russias energy sector.
RSHYY is Russias largest producer of renewal energy, water turbines, wind, tidal and thermal. Not many plays open for public trading in the world since most are state owned.
Russias energy sector suffered lack of funds from 1990-2005 for maintenance and construction. RSHYY have done a lot since 2005 with old turbines and have some new power plants finished too.
Still more to do and power plants on the drawing board and under construction in 2011. Russia is expected to have a strong growth for energy demand in the future years.
