The total installed wind power capacity of Rosatom exceeded 1 GW.
The second stage of Rosatom’s Trunovskaya wind power plant in Stavropolsky Krai, with an installed capacity of 35 MW, began supplying energy to the Unified All-Russian Power Grid. In total, the Trunovskaya WPP has an installed capacity of 95 MW and consists of 38 wind turbines.
“The Trunovskaya wind power plant is Rosatom’s ninth wind farm. With the commissioning of the power plant, the total installed capacity of the projects implemented by our company exceeded 1 GW. To date, Rosatom is the only one to possess a localized megawatt-class turbine in Russia and consistently implements the strategy of technological sovereignty, adhering to the principles of sustainable development of territories and environmental well-being of Russia,” said Grigory Nazarov, the Director General of Wind Energy Division of ROSATOM.
“Stavropolsky Krai is consistently increasing the capacity of green energy. This is of fundamental importance for preserving the environment and the unique nature of the region. We are also building up our competencies in industry and high-tech production, which certainly gives the region a head start in the promising direction. Thanks to many years of cooperation with Rosatom, Stavropolsky Krai has become one of the leaders in wind power development among Russian regions. Today we are launching a new stage of the seventh wind farm in Stavropolsky Krai. In the future, we plan to continue increasing wind power capacity in the region. This will make it possible to increase energy yield from green energy facilities in the region to two billion kWh,” said Vladimir Vladimirov, Governor of Stavropolsky Krai.
