Wind generation

RusHydro implements wind power projects in the Far Eastern Federal district. In 2013-2018, two wind power plants were commissioned in the Kamchatka territory, two plants – in Yakutia and one plant – in the Sakhalin region, the total installed capacity of the wind power plant was 3.37 MW. Also in 2013, a wind power plant was commissioned in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District.

Development of wind power in remote settlements isolated from the united power grid enables to ensure the payback of projects due to the partial replacement of the diesel power plants generation and the corresponding significant savings of expensive diesel fuel. The greatest effect is achieved when creating integrated wind-diesel complexes, including wind turbines, high-efficiency diesel power plants and energy storage systems. The first such complex was built by RusHydro together with Japanese partners in 2018-2020 in the Arctic village of Tiksi.
