Rosatom Renewable Energy is ROSATOM's new division concentrating efforts of the Russian nuclear corporation in advanced areas of the energy generation technology. The company was founded in September 2017. Rosatom Renewable Energy has consolidated all of ROSATOM's wind energy assets to take on the responsibility for its renewable generation strategy. To achieve this ambitious goal, the company has acquired a range of totally new competencies comprising wind farm management, serial production of wind turbines, product development, marketing and sales, and after-sales support. The total portfolio of ROSATOM Wind Energy Division is more than 2 GW (including the commissioned wind farms with a total capacity of 1 GW), which confirms the company's position as one of the leaders in the wind energy industry in Russia. Located in Volgodonsk (Rostov Region, Russia) at Rosatom’s power engineering centre Atommash, Rosatom Renewable Energy Plant manufactures wind turbine components and assemblies. The plant's building and cranes were retrofitted and upgraded to meet wind turbine production requirements. Investments in the plant infrastructure exceeded RUB 1.7 billion. The plant in Volgodonsk occupies an area of 30,000 sq m. Its annual production capacity is about 120 wind turbines per year. The staff comprises over 320 production, engineering and administrative employees. Following the upgrade programme, the plant in Volgodonsk was divided into five assembly departments: generator stator, generator rotor and main bearing, generator, hub, nacelle.
