Governor: Rostov Region’s windmills to reach 1 GW capacity in 2024

ST. PETERSBURG, Jun 7 (PRIME) -- The combined installed capacity of windmill farms in Russia’s Rostov Region should reach 1 gigawatt (GW) in 2024, which is comparable to one reactor of a nuclear power plant, Governor Vasily Golubev told PRIME late on June 4.

The wind power projects were launched around three years ago in the region. “I suppose that (the combined capacity) will amount to 1 GW in 2024. For comparison, this is one nuclear reactor, it is a lot,” he said.

Golubev signed a cooperation agreement with German company SoWiTec operation GmbH that is to draft a project of a 10 billion ruble windmill farm in the region.
