VetroOGK (part of the Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Company) has agreed to partner with the Dutch Lagerwey and intends to manufacture and assemble key components in Volgodonsk, including blades, generator, nacelles, hubs and towers of wind turbines, and localization can reach 70%.
The licensing agreement of Rosatom with the Netherlands Lagerway presupposes the transfer of technologies of the production of the basic model of the Lagerwey L100 wind turbine (2.5 MW) and the prospective model L136 (4 MW) to VeterOKG, says Maxim Bystrov, the head of the Market Council, to Deputy Energy Minister Vyacheslav Kravchenko On the situation with the development of green energy in Russia, according to Kommersant. According to the newspaper, the target for localization of components of windmills by 2019 is more than 70%, their manufacture, assembly and testing will take place at a plant in Volgodonsk (there is the largest engineering plant “Rosatom” “Atommash”). Production capacity – at least 100 sets of windmills per year, when choosing a site, a possible increase in production to 200 sets was taken into account. The portfolio of “VetroOGK” in wind generation is now 970 MW.
Among the components of the L100, which will be produced in the Russian Federation, are the blades of the wind wheel (Umatex, combines the composite production of Rosatom), the generator, the nacelle and the tower, the hub, the cooling system of the converter (all – OTEC); the converter itself and the transformer will be supplied by Russian suppliers, including ABB Rus (structure of the Swedish-Swiss ABB).
Competitors of VetroOGK in the construction of wind parks – Finnish Fortum (member of RAWI) and Italian Enel – have not yet specified the plans for localization, Kommersant notes. While it is known, it reminds the publication that the technological partner of Fortum Energy (a joint fund of Fortum and Rusnano) – the Danish Vestas (member of RAWI) will increase localization to 65% by 2019. Vestas will develop the manufacture of blades and towers in the Russian Federation. Within five years, the fund invests about 30 billion rubles. In the construction of 1 GW of windmills. Enel’s technology partner will be Siemens Gamesa, the world’s largest windmill manufacturer, created this year by the merger of Spanish Gamesa and the wind assets of the German energy concern. The Enel portfolio in Russia is 291 MW of wind turbines.
