IEEE Spectrum has an article on a report by the Neo-Carbon Energy Research Project in Finland on how to transition Russia and the Central Asian republics to 100% renewable energy at an acceptable cost - A Renewable Supergrid in Russia. They don't view this as remotely likely given the relative lack of interest in renewables in that part of the world but they wanted to show that 100% renewables was feasible throughout Eurasia.
