S. Khorasan Wind Farm Project Gains Impetus

More turbines are being hauled to wrap up construction of the Sarbisheh Wind Power Plant in Doreh rural district in South Khorasan Province, the provincial governor said.
“Of the total 20 wind turbines, five have been installed and the rest have either arrived or are being moved to the site,” Mohammad Mohammadi was quoted as saying by IRNA.
The 50-megawatt wind farm, being built by Mapna, Iran's top engineering and energy enterprise, will have 20 modern turbines of 2.5 MW each and a permanent magnet direct-drive system.
The plant is being built over 22 hectares, is estimated to cost $82 million and come on line in 2021.
