According to Igor Burakov, general director of the Investment Development Agency of the Rostov Region, the new wind farm would be located on the territory of the former gambling zone "Azov-City" on the coast of Taganrog Bay of the Azov Sea.
The project would involve the construction of up to 80 turbines and would be implemented in several stages. According to preliminary estimates by SoWiTec Group, the Rostov region has good wind potential.
SoWiTec Group said electricity produced at the Rostov wind farm would be sold to local consumers and in the neighboring Krasnodar region.
