Norway’s NBT continues planning for a €1.2 billion project in Zaporizhia Oblast that could be Europe’s largest onshore wind farm. Designed to generate 792MW, the Zophia farm would place 160 turbines along a 39 km line from Kyryliv to Yakymiv, to catch winds blowing north from the Sea of Azov. With financing arranged by JPMorgan and contracting by China’s SET, NBT hopes to start construction this fall. Many renewable projects have stalled pending Rada adoption of new electricity tariffs. Vitaliy Bogovin, head of the Zaporizhia Regional State Administration, met Wednesday with NBT executives in Zaporizhia, reports the region’s press service.
