Investment projects

Investigation of the sites for WPP construction was done due to the following constraints (factors):

• Sufficient wind potency for a wind farm construction on the basis of long-term meteorological research of the nearest meteorological stations
• Availability of lands free of any encumbrances (no third parties are granted any lease or property rights to the land)
• Availability of lands free of any agricultural or any other business use
• Local authorities' consent to preliminary location of the Project on the land plot following the results of potential land plots analysis
• Availability of sufficient space for a large wind fleet
• No perspective (investment) plans on the plot use by third parties
• Logistic accessibility (asphalt roads, sea ports, customs terminals are located nearby)
• At least 40 km distance to the airports
• Possibility of connection to 110 kV and 35 kV power substation located at the distance no more than 10 km
• Actual and prospective energy deficiency analysis
• The plot is not an express source of historical and cultural values or minimum location of archaeological sites will not have a considerable impact on the Project implementation
• The plot is not a natural monument or a specially protected natural area.

Total capacity of investigated sites is about 200 MW, with unit capacity from 15 to 60 MW.
