Benefits of Wind Energy
 No greenhouse gases (Kyoto)
 Added value (economically) on a local and
regional scale
 Security of energy supply (reduced need for
fossil fuel imports)
 Predictable fuel costs (wind energy)
(the fuel for wind turbines – wind – is for free and
it will never be exposed to a volatile stock
market)
True generation costs
Job Creation
(the wind energy sector alone has created on
average >30 jobs/day since 2002 in European
countries with wind turbine installations)
Sustainable Employment
(any country that has committed to the
deployment of renewable energy plants has
experienced economic growth in this sector,
which has been continuing throughout the current
world’s economic crisis)

According to the “Complex Program
for Wind Farms Construction”
1,990 MW of wind capacity is to be
installed by 2010.
As of November 2009 the Ukraine’s
total capacity of wind power
generation was about 90 MW.
Ukraine holds an enormous potential for the renewable energy generation and in particularly wind energy.
The greatest wind energy potential is in the vast areas adjacent to the Black Sea and the Azov Sea, as well
as the Carpathian and Transcarpathian areas.
An total installed capacity of about 400 MW is envisaged for the Crimean WKN wind
farms. This will make a significant contribution towards achieving the Ukraine
government’s program targets.

Construction
35 yrs
Operation
The development of a utility scale wind farm usually takes 2-5 years plus construction. Variability in the
time frame depends mainly on the duration of the land securing and permitting processes.

Time Line

12. 29/01/15 | PowerPoint-Präsentation der WKN AG | 12
Wind speed and wind direction are the most important parameters for the calculation
of the predicted energy output from a wind farm. Wind measurements should be
made for at least 12 months in order to capture the seasonal variability.
 First estimation of wind speed and direction at the Crimean sites was done based on the data
from reference meteorological stations, satellite and model data.
 In order to determine site specific wind speed data, an on-site wind measurement is required.
NEA Ukraine is currently erecting a wind measurement masts at the sites.
 The wind measurement is carried out according to the international standard for Wind Turbine
Power Performance Testing IEC 61400-12, which sets out clear procedures. This Standard
will be also followed for the expert report.

RESULT -> NO ADVERSE IMPACT
 Further detailed Environmental Impact Assessments within
the scope of the project will commence soon. The will
include amongst others the following fields of expertise:
 Archaeology
 Fauna
 Flora
 Landscape and visual impact
 Noise impact
 Shadow impact
 Traffic and transport
A crucial part of the project development and permitting process is an Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA). The EIA ensures that the project will have no adverse effect on the environment.
Development Progress

 Budget for development of the engineering, transportation and social infrastructure in
Krasnoperekopsk & Dzankoyska District
According to the effective Ukrainian law, an investor which intends to invest in a region has to finance in
social infrastructure.
 Intermediate local employment during design and construction of the wind farm
At peak construction several hundreds jobs will be created.
 Long term local employment throughout 30 years operation of the
wind farm
After the wind farm has been constructed, several people are needed
for the services of the wind farm.
 Income tax
Legal entities operating in Ukraine pay 25% of income tax
 Improved local road infrastructure within wind farm site
The existing roads that provide access to the turbines on the site will
be improved.
 Development of local hotel and gastronomy business
(during construction of the wind farm)
Several hundred people will be integrated in the process.
They need to be provided with accommodation and food.
Local & Regional Benefits

15. 29/01/15 | PowerPoint-Präsentation der WKN AG | 15
 Tourism concept
The Crimean Wind Farms will be one the first modern power plants in Ukraine. So, in that way tourists
may be attracted in the region. This offers the opportunity to set up an excellent an educational
renewable energy theme for organized tourist tours.
 Potential for control over own regional electricity supply at long term, and low and
predictable cost
The region has the opportunity to operate its own wind energy power plant, which would provide an
independent electricity supply. The cost for the power plants fuel (wind) would be zero.
 Government’s renewable targets
Significant contribution of towards the Ukraine government’s target
of 20-30% of the energy coming from wind energy by 2030.
 Development of specialized companies
The region has the opportunity to operate its own wind energy
power plant, which would provide an independent electricity supply.
The cost for the power plants fuel (wind) would be zero.
Turbine production facilities
Added value supply chain
Local & Regional Benefits

16. 29/01/15 | PowerPoint-Präsentation der WKN AG | 16
International investors require predictability for their investments.
 Green Tariff
