Spanish company Windar Renovables has brought the manufacturing of wind turbine towers to Russia, where a plant run by WRS Towers, a partnership which includes the Russian groups Rusnano MC and Severstal PSJC and is led by the Spanish company, will soon begin operations.

It is the first production center for this type of equipment to be established in the country, where an ambitious land farm installation program is to begin immediately. The factory, which is located in Taganrog in Rostov, was opened by the governor of the region Vasily Golubey, who was accompanied by the Deputy Minister for Industry, Vasily Osmakov. Both were received by the president of Rusnano MC Anatoly Chubais, the managing director of Severstal Alexander Shevelev, and the executive president of Windar Renovables Orlando Alonso.
