Two solar power plants and one wind power plant are currently under construction in Dagestan as part of the national "New Nuclear and Energy Technologies" project. The commissioning of these facilities is scheduled for the period between 2025 and 2026.

The construction of the Novolakskaya wind farm commenced in October last year. By 2025, the facility will comprise 61 operational wind turbines, with a cumulative capacity of 152.5 megawatts (MW). By 2026, an additional 59 turbines will be added, bringing the total capacity to 147.5 MW.

Besides, in October, work commenced on the construction of Russia's most extensive solar power plant in Derbent District. This facility will boast a capacity of 100 megawatts (MW) and will span an area of 300 hectares. Professionals will install approximately 190,000 photovoltaic panels and lay over 800 kilometers of underground cables. The project is projected to commence operations in 2026.

Furthermore, a second solar power station with a capacity of 60 megawatts is currently under construction in Nogaiski municipal district, covering an area of 155 hectare. It is anticipated that this project will be completed this year. Altogether, all three projects in Dagestan are expected to create approx. 120 permanent jobs and 600 construction-related jobs temporarily.

Dagestan stands out as one of the regions with immense potential for implementing projects related to renewable energy due to its substantial solar, wind and hydropower resources. The national project "New Nuclear Power and New Energy Technologies" aims to contribute to Russia's aspiration to become a global leader in the field of nuclear energy and new technologies, fostering technological independence and ensuring energy security.
