Gazprom in talks for construction of several wind farms in Serbia

BELGRADE (Serbia), June 5 (SeeNews) – Gazprom Energoholding, a subsidiary of Russia's Gazprom, is in talks for construction of several wind farms in Serbia, general manager Denis Fedorov has said.

"We are currently negotiating the conditions for the implementation of several [wind power] projects [in Serbia]," Fedorov said in an interview for the latest edition of Gazprom's corporate magazine.

Gazprom has made no investment decision to date, Russian news agency ITAR-TASS quoted Fedorov as saying on Thursday.

He also said that Gazprom plans to attract no partners for the construction of the wind farms.

"We do not need partners from the point of view of competencies. About 70% of all work is carried out by the manufacturer of [wind energy equipment] - either Siemens Gamesa, or Vestas, or someone else," Fedorov said.

In December, Fedorov said Gazprom is interested in investing in wind power projects in Serbia if they are economically efficient.

"After all, we are a company that is obliged to provide profit to its shareholders," Fedorov said back then.
