LJUBLJANA (Slovenia), August 5 (SeeNews) - Slovenian energy group Petrol [LJE:PETG] has launched a 30 MW wind farm in Croatia, it said.

The wind farm, located in Ljubac, features nine turbines that will produce 96 GWh of electricity per year, equivalent to the consumption of 30,000 households, Petrol said in a statement on Wednesday.

Nordex is the supplier of wind turbines for the Ljubac wind farm, Petrol's first project in the field of wind energy production carried out without financial support or subsidies, the company said.
