Siemens Gamesa will supply Enel Russia over construction of 90 MW wind farm.
Enel Russia will receive 26 of the SG 3.4-132 wind turbines from Siemens Gamesa, to equip the Azovskaya wind farm located near the city of Rostov-on-Don in Southern Russia, announced a corporate press release. The 90 MW wind farm under construction is registered among the investments priorities of the Rostov oblast.

“We are excited to report this milestone as part of our market entry in Russia and we appreciate the trust from our key account client Enel […] This first contract comes in parallel with our ongoing activities for localization of nacelle assembly and local component sourcing” says Steven Pryor, CEO for North Europe & Middle East Onshore at Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy.
The authorities of the Rostov oblast signed with Enel Russia the agreement regarding the construction of the 90 MW wind farm during the Russian Investment Forum held in Sochi in February 2018. The initial developer of this wind power project was the German holding SOWITEC. Enel Russia won the right to build this wind farm during the federal tender over renewable energy capacities held in June 2017.
