The Kochubeevskaya Wind Farm is located in the Kochubeevsky District, Stavropol Krai. It has been supplying electricity to the wholesale electricity market since January 2021. This is the second wind energy project completed by NovaWind and the largest operating wind farm in Russia.
The wind farm consists of 84 wind turbines with a capacity of 2.5 MW each. With an installed capacity of 210 MW, it is planned to generate 597 kWh of electricity on the annual average. During its operation period, the wind farm will occupy an area of 75 hectares. Investments in the project exceeded RUB 28 billion.
As confirmed by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, 65% of the wind farm equipment is sourced locally.
Wind turbines at the Kochubeevskaya Wind Farm are 150 meters high (measured at the rotor's top). Each 49,05-meter blade weighs 8.6 tonnes. Together with a 217-tonne tower and a 49,5-tonne generator, the entire structure weighs about 324 tonnes.
