Wind   power   is   rapidly   growing   throughout   the   world,   including   in   Russia.   Wind   energy   is   referred   to   as   renewable energy   and   is   increasingly   referred   to   as   “Green   Energy”.   The   only   necessary   resource   for   using   the   energy produced   by   the   Wind   Power   Plant   (WPP)   is   wind.   Thus,   the   use   of   this   type   of   energy   refers   not   only   to   the economically   beneficial,   but   also   to   one   of   the   most   environmentally   friendly.   By   the   end   of   2017,   the   total installed   capacity   of   all   wind   generators   in   the   world   was   539   gigawatts   and,   thus,   surpassed   the   total   installed capacity of nuclear energy. Total installed capacity in the world (MW): From the data in the table, the fact of the rapid development of the wind power industry is obvious. The   use   of   industrial   wind   turbines   in   Russia   is   also   gaining   momentum.   So   in   2009,   the   total   installed   capacity   of wind   power   plants   was   18   MW.   The   largest   wind   power   stations   of   Russia   are   located   in   the   Crimea.   These include:   Donuzlavskaya   WPP   (total   capacity   18.7   MW),   Ostaninskaya   WPP   (“Vodenergoremnaladka”)   (26   MW), Tarkhankutskaya   WPP   (15.9   MW)   and   East-Crimean   WPP.   In   total,   they   have   522   wind   turbines   with   a   capacity of   59   MW.   In   Russia,   there   are   other   regions   in   which   wind   power   is   used,   for   example:   in   Chukotka,   the Kaliningrad   region,   the   Republic   of   Bashkortostan,   in   the   Republic   of   Kalmykia,   the   Republic   of   Komi.   Investing   in the wind power industry is not only an efficient and fast-paying project, but also one of the safest.

According   to   a   number   of   Russian   experts,   the   projected   installed   capacity   of   the   Russian   energy   complex   in   the future   for   2030   will   be   15   GW   in   the   field   of   wind   energy.   Moreover,   the   most   promising   in   terms   of   the development   of   this   type   of   energy   will   be   the   Volgograd   Region   and   the   Krasnodar   Territory,   the   Republic   of Karelia,   the   Murmansk,   Kaliningrad,   Omsk,   Novosibirsk   Regions,   as   well   as   the   Khabarovsk   and   Kamchatka Territories.   Unlike   most   developed   countries,   centralized   energy   supply   systems   cover   only   about   a   third   of   the territory   of   the   Russian   Federation.   In   70%   of   the   territory   with   population   of   about   20   million   people,   the settlements   are   supplied   mostly   with   the   help   of   autonomous   power   plants.   In   most   cases   at   the   expense   of expensive   imported   liquid   fuel   or   at   the   expense   of   the   region’s   own   energy   potential   (coal,   peat,   etc.).   This feature   contributes   to   the   competitiveness   of   the   wind   energy   industry.   According   to   a   number   of   specialists,   the creation   in   Russia   of   large-scale   domestic   wind   energy   industry   is   economically   efficient   for   the   state,   business and the population.
