In the Murmansk region to build wind farm

The company Windlife Energy BV from the Netherlands is planning to invest 22 billion rubles in the creation of a wind farm in the Murmansk region, said the investor within the framework of the Murmansk international business week.

"Planned in 2019 to complete the installation. It will be the largest wind farm in the Arctic circle (...). 22 billion we plan to spend for this 200 MW", — said General Director of "Windlife Kola Vetro LL1" (subsidiary company Windlife Energy BV) Paul Logchies.

As said P. Logis, the volume of investment in the polar wind farm will be more than 22 billion rubles. According to him, the beginning of construction works is planned for the end of 2018, the installation of wind equipment will be held in 2019. "The official day of launch to 31 December 2019," said P. Logis.





According to the calculations Windlife Energy BV, the coefficient of installed capacity utilization (capacity factor) of the future wind farm will be about 41%. P. Logis emphasizes that it is a very high rate, and to compare the results in Germany, where the average value of the capacity factor is only 18%.

P. Logis explained the interest of the company to the coast of Murman special climatic conditions: annual average wind speed on the shore of the Barents sea is 8.5 m/s, similar conditions exist only on the coast of Portugal.

Currently "Windlife Kola Vetro LL1" completes their studies and submits their results for examination. A company representative added that a power delivery scheme is already agreed upon as technical terms, and the tariff for connection to the network.

However, the company evaluates all risks that will be faced in the Murmansk region. Including excess electricity generation in the region and plans of the generating companies in the face of the Kolsky branch of JSC TGC-1 and Kola nuclear power plants to increase their power.

In September, the press service of the regional government on the results of the working meeting of Deputy Governor Eugene nicora and Deputy Consul General of the Netherlands in Saint-Petersburg Hugo Brouwer said that Windlife Energy BV (Netherlands) intends by 2020 to build a wind energy Park along the road Murmansk — Hazy — Teriberka.

Earlier E. Nikora reported that the project to build a wind farm in the Arctic are interested in "a pool of investors." While the Governor did not specify and name the potential investors.

"In any case, will be used modern technology, which will be based on the Dutch experience", — said E. Nikora during a forum on nuclear energy in the Arctic in Murmansk in may.

In 2014, the number of experts was critical to the project of establishing a wind farm in the Arctic due to the presence of excess capacity in the region. Discussion of the construction of a wind farm is being discussed since 2010.

The Minister of energy and utilities Murmansk region Vladimir Gnoevsky among the reasons why the construction of a wind farm is under question, called the redundancy of the Arctic, the lack of methodology of formation of tariffs for "green energy" and the impossibility of fulfilling the requirements of the Dutch partners in the current legislation.

"Our partners are ready to have 300-400 MW, and it is a very large volume, and partners want the assurance that they have the electricity to buy. This guarantee today, the Russian legislation can not give in any form, especially the government of the Murmansk region", — explained V. Gnoevsky.

In the case of the project the regional grid company, branch of JSC "IDGC North-West" "Kolenergo" will be obliged to build a new substation and to strengthen the lines. However, in the "Kolenergo" reported that a network company in the project of a wind farm is also considered futile and noted that the project is not even mentioned in the investment "IDGC of North-West".

The investment strategy of Murmansk region till 2020 and for the period up to 2025 it was noted that the draft wind farm there are financial risks.

The intention to build a wind farm of 200 MW, the Dutch company Windlife Energy said in 2010. The ex-Governor of Murmansk region Yuri Evdokimov and the President of the company Paul Logchies had previously signed a cooperation Protocol for the creation of the territory of the Kola Peninsula wind energy Park.

Windlife Energy — developer of small and large wind farms. The company announced the project in the Murmansk region in 2008 and then estimated it at 300 million euros. published
