In Dagestan, the construction of the Makhachkalinskaya onshore wind farm is the result of the cooperation between NovaWind and EcoEnergy Group.

A partnership with Rosatom

In Dagestan, NovaWind (Rosatom’s wind power division) and EcoEnergy Group signed an agreement to build a 12.5MW wind farm. The two companies have agreed to join forces in design engineering. The construction of the wind power plant is expected to take place in 2023.

The wind farm will consist of five wind turbines with a capacity of 2.5MW each. NovaWind will produce the wind farm equipment at its plant in the Rostov region. However, it will also mobilize the help of national subcontractors.

A unifying project

EcoEnergy Group, through one of its subsidiaries in the Novolaksky district of the Republic of Dagestan, will develop the Makhachkalinskaya wind farm project. It will be the first wind power plant in the region to be part of a larger Caspian wind farm. It will provide sustainable energy to local consumers.

NovaWind CEO Grigoriy Nazarov says:

I hope this agreement will be the start of a long-term and rewarding partnership.”

Artur Alibekov, CEO of EcoEnergy Group also states:

“We see the partnership between EcoEnergy and NovaWind as a strategic step towards the construction of the Makhachkalinskaya wind farm and also as a powerful impetus for the development of wind energy in Dagestan. This project frees up the region’s energy potential for larger-scale wind projects. portfolio of over 525MW.
