How to Choose a Location for Wind Turbines in Russia: What to Consider Before Investing

Choosing a site for wind farm installation in Russia cannot be reduced to just the "red zone" on the wind map. An investor needs to check grid connection (availability of capacity, technical conditions), transport accessibility for oversized components and land-use regime of the area in advance.

Wind regime and documentation

At the preproject stage, usually wind measurements are ordered or a combination of mast data and modeling is used. Noise and sanitary standards for nearby populated areas, protective zones and restrictions on forest land and water objects are assessed.

Access and infrastructure

access roads, crane platforms, and temporary infrastructure - without this, the budget for assembly can grow unpredictably.

"EcoTEK" accompanies projects at stages of wind measurements, predocumentation and wind farm construction. Such an approach allows to coordinate technical and economic decisions before the start of SCR.
