The first phase of the 500-MW onshore wind farm in the Zaporizhey region of Ukraine has begun operations. Penetron crystalline technology was applied to the wind farm’s turbine foundations and power distribution stations to ensure durable concrete structures.
The wind farm was constructed on the shores of the Sea of Azov (a northern extension of the Black Sea) in Prymorsk in the Zaporizhey oblast in Ukraine. Phase one of the project encompassed the installation of the first 27 wind turbines (3.8 MW each) supplied by GE. The rotor (130 m diameter) and nacelle of each turbine are based on a tubular steel tower set at varied hub heights and anchored by a massive concrete foundation.
Once the full capacity of the Prymorsk wind farm goes online by the end of 2021, there will be 167 wind turbines in operation. This will generate enough electricity to power more than 350,000 homes – and help Ukraine meet national energy targets of 11% renewable energy generation. The generated power will be sold to Energorynok, the Ukrainian state energy enterprise.
