ASTANA. June 13 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Kazakhstan is holding talks with Ukraine’s Fuhrlaender Windtechnology (FWT, Kramatorsk, Donetsk region) to arrange expansion of a wind farm project in Ereymentau to 300 MW, charge d’affaires of Ukraine ad interim in Kazakhstan Volodymyr Dzhydzhora has said.
“They [Fuhrlaender Windtechnology] are holding talks with Kazakh partners to expand this project to 300MW production… There is the decision. It should be put on paper,” he told reporters last week in Astana.
The diplomat said that during the first business project the Ukrainian company installed a wind farm with a capacity of 45 MW in Ereymentau. A total of 22 WTU2.0 wind turbines with a capacity of 2.05 MW each were installed.

The company produces turbines at the site of Kramatorsk Heavy Machine Tool Plant. During the period from 2010 to the present time Fuhrlaender Windtechnology has built (using its own equipment) seven wind farms in Ukraine and one wind farm in Kazakhstan.
