Lovech based company Velga has started the construction of a wind energy park near Somovit. The initial investment will be two million euro. The total site will feature 48 massive wind generators, each producing 2.5 megawatts of energy at a cost of 171 million euro.The project was started two years ago and already there are three generators in operation. The fourth generator will be installed within a month and will be the largest of its kind in the country, producing a total of 2.5 megawatts per hour. The generator is imported from Germany. The height of its tower is 80 metres. The generator is capable of producing maximum capacity of energy at just 12 m/sec sustained winds, whereas productivity begins at 3.5 m/sec. According to Lazarin Dochev, the owner of Velga, the main investor in the wind park, investment in the fourth generator alone will reach 3.2 million euro, whereas the combined productivity of all four generators in Somovit will exceed 4.350 megawatts per hour of electricity.
