Rosatom Commissioned Phase 3 of Kuzminskaya Wind Farm

 Located in Stavropol Krai, the wind power station consists of 64 wind turbines with an installed capacity of 160 MW. As confirmed by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, 68% of the wind farm parts and components have been sourced locally.

“Kuzminskaya is our eighth wind farm in Southern Russia. The first 100 MW of the capacity was put into operation early in June. Today, we are commissioning another 60 MW. The wind farm will supply electricity to over 70,000 households every year. Rosatom is taking a stepwise approach to its wind power strategy. By the year end, we expect to complete another wind farm, Trunovskaya,” NovaWind CEO Grigoriy Nazarov remarked.

“Stavropol is a leading Russian region in terms of wind and solar power capacities. With the Kuzminskaya Wind Farm coming online, the local wind power generation will approach 2 billion kWh per annum. The green energy projects create new jobs and enable tax base growth in the region. We are interested in further expansion of local green energy capacities and will proceed with these efforts,” Stavropol Governor Vladimir Vladimirov said.
