In the first quarter of 2023 wind farms of NovaWind (ROSATOM’s wind power division) generated 650 thousand MWh of electricity, having demonstrated a 1.2-fold increase year-on-year. In Q1 2022, the wind farms produced 550 thousand MWh (excluding power output from the Berestovskaya Wind Farm).
The 2023 figure includes electric power generated by seven wind farms commissioned in the Republic of Adygea, Stavropol Krai, and Rostov Region. With a total installed capacity of 780 MW, the wind farms prevented 228 thousand metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent from being emitted into the atmosphere in the period under discussion.
NovaWind wind power plants have produced over 4 million MWh of electric power since commissioning.
For reference:
NovaWind is ROSATOM’s wind power division consolidating efforts of the Russian nuclear corporation in advanced areas of the energy generation technology. Established in September 2017, the company accumulates Rosatom’s competencies in wind power generation, from design and construction to mechanical engineering and operation of wind farms. As of today, NovaWind has commissioned 780 MW of wind power capacity. By 2027, Rosatom will put a total of around 1.7 GW of wind capacity in operation.
