Currently, the absence of a carbon footprint of wind and solar power plants is mistakenly viewed as an axiom. The impact of wind power plants and solar power plants on the growth of greenhouse gas emissions as a result of decreasing fuel efficiency of thermal power plants is not taken into account. The article aims to assess carbon dioxide emissions attributed to the generation of electric energy by CCGT, GTU, CHPP, WPP, SPP, HPP without regulated runoff, and HPP with regulated runoff. Wind and solar power plants have the greatest impact on the growth of greenhouse gas emissions in the energy system. Specific carbon dioxide emissions from wind and solar power plants exceed those from TPP for both natural gas and coal. Automatic issuance of green certificates for WPP, SPP, and HPP with regulated runoff, without analyzing and taking into account their contribution to the growth of carbon dioxide emissions in the UES of Russia, contradicts the climate goals of the Russian Federation.
