The first phase of Iran’s second largest wind farm, with 50 MW power generation capacity, was launched on Monday in Aqkand village, East Azerbaijan Province.
The plant has 20 modern turbines of 2.5 MW with a permanent magnet direct-drive system, of which 12 are linked to the national grid, the state-owned Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization's (Satba) news portal reported.
The rest will be synchronized with the network by March.
