The Wind Energy Division of the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom (Rosatom) consolidates the State Corporation’s efforts in advanced segments and technology platforms of the electric power industry. The Division was incorporated in September 2017. Its focus is on managing all of the competencies of Rosatom in the wind energy sector, from design and construction to power engineering and WPPs operation. To date, Rosatom has commissioned over 1 GW of wind power capacity. In total, by 2027, Rosatom will put into operation wind power plants with a total capacity of about 1.7 GW.
Russian partners of the wind energy projects of Rosatom are increasing the production of the necessary machinery and equipment, strengthening the technological sovereignty of the country. The challenge of producing own components is also being addressed in the circuit of Rosatom. The Fuel Division of Rosatom has launched a corresponding project. In 2027, a large-capacity full-cycle production of permanent rare-earth magnets with a capacity of 1,000 tons will be launched in Russia, reaching the planned capacity in 2028, with the possibility of increasing the volume of production above 3,000 tons after 2030. Rosatom also announced the launch of blade production on the basis of its own composite division.
