This is another step towards strengthening the stability and reliability of the energy system of Ukraine

Friendly Wind Technologies has launched a newly built workshop that will produce up to 20 wind turbines per year with a unit capacity of 4.8 to 5.5 MW.

The wind turbine manufacturer announced this on its Facebook page.

Friendly Windtechnology LLC is currently the only national manufacturer of multi-megawatt wind turbines. After the start of the full-scale invasion, the company, as part of the group of companies LLC MC Wind Parks of Ukraine, was forced to relocate its production facilities to Transcarpathia.
