For the first time in Kazan, this summer will see a sun-powered boat race. The Solar Regatta 2019, to be held on June 27 to June 30, will bring together more than 50 teams from 26 regions of Russia. The race will be held in the waters of the Lower Kaban Lake.

The Solar Regatta is a unique event where participants can compete in the speed, agility, and endurance of their environment-friendly boats powered by solar energy. The goal of the competition is to raise public awareness about engineering creativity and the latest environmental technologies.

The Solar Regatta is organised by the National Centre for Engineering Contests and Competitions. In 2019, the All-Russian stage of the competition is being held with the support from the Kazan City Administration, the Kazan National Research Technical University KAI, as well as the United Shipbuilding Corporation. The Regatta’s main partner is the Kazan State Power Engineering University.

The Solar Regatta international engineering competitions have been held in Russia since 2014. In preceding years, they took place in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Vladivostok, Kaliningrad, Novgorod, and Grozny. Starting in 2018, school teams can also take part in the competitions.
