Four wind turbine farms in the Stavropol region are to be connected to the grid by the end of 2021, according to plans by the regional Energy Ministry announced on October 5, 2020. These include the Kochubeyevskaya wind farm with an output of 210 MW in the Kochubeyevsky district, the Bondarevskaya wind farm with an output of 120 MW in the Ipatovsky district, the Karmalinovskaya wind farm with an output of 60 MW in the Novoalexandrovsky district, and the Medvezhinskaya wind farm with an output of 60 MW in the Trunovsky district.

NovaWind, a wind energy subsidiary of the state-owned Rosatom Group, will implement the projects.

The construction of the Kochubeyevskaya wind farm is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2020, with the remaining three to be completed by 2021. The total output of the wind farms is estimated at 450 MW. Solar energy accounts for 100 MW in the regional renewable energy mix, primarily generated by a project in the Grachevsky district. The project was commissioned in the spring of 2020.

In addition, three more wind farms with a total capacity of more than 360 MW are planned by the end of 2024. On behalf of the regional head Vladimir Vladimirov, the local Ministry of Industry is working on the possible construction of additional wind projects in the Stavropol region with an output of about 500 MW. Possible locations have already been selected.
