GP23: Construction of a wind power plant (WPP), Bulgaria

PDF Icon Download GP23 (34 Kb PDF) May-2005

The overall project consists of mounting and operation of 3 wind turbines on the territory of Mogilishte Village. The present description concerns only one turbine construction and operation – type Nordtank 500/41 with 500 kW capacity. The electricity generated by the wind plant is sold to National Electric Company thus providing economic benefits for owners and also decreasing the amount of electricity produced from fossil fuels in TPPs.
