The Russian-Czech developer Alten – a unit of the Czech investment fund Falcon Capital – was the sole taker for the supply deals on offer.

Construction and commissioning is due in 2015, while at the end of 2017 the company has plans for an additional 150MW.

Alten will get capacity-based supply agreements guaranteeing an 14% return over 15 years.

Plans for Russia's emerging wind-power market are dependent on local-content rules set out in the country's federal energy law.
