The Marchenkovskaya Wind Farm is located in the Zimovnikovsky District, Rostov Region. It has been feeding electricity into the national power grid since July 1, 2021. This is NovaWind’s first wind farm in the Rostov Region.
The farm consists of 48 wind turbines with a capacity of 2.5 MW each. With an installed capacity of 120 MW, it is planned to generate more than 402 million kWh of electricity on the annual average. Investments in the project amounted to about RUB 16 billion.
As confirmed by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, 68% of the wind farm equipment is sourced locally.
The Marchenkovskaya Wind Farm uses parts and components fully produced and assembled in Russia.
