PV company Unigreen Energy has made its first foray into wind generation market with an acquisition of 70% stake in wind power project in Kazakhstan. Unigreen signed a deal with Unex Stroy to acquire 70% share in the charter capital of the special purpose vehicle Kaz Wind Energy that holds a 48 MW wind power project in Kostanay region of Kazakhstan.
The project is to be implemented on a build and operate basis under a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) and is set to come online by the end of 2022.

Unigreen Energy continues to expand its renewable energy portfolio with developing 55 MW of solar generation in Kazakhstan and 545 MW in Russia.
Being a vertically integrated company Unigreen Energy continues to expand its overseas presence aiming to reach 3 GW portfolio by 2024.

Unigreen Energy – has started the development of a vertically integrated solar module factory in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, between Poland and Lithuania.

"The factory will have a capacity of 1.3 GW for the n-type wafers, 1 GW for the solar cells, and around 500 MW for the PV modules," a company spokesperson told pv magazine at Intersolar this week in Munich, Germany. "The plasma chemical vapor deposition (PCVD) production equipment was supplied by South Korea-based Jusung Engineering."

The new facility will likely produce solar panels featuring the same heterojunction technology as the panles manufactured by Hevel Solar. However, the factory will exclusively serve non-Russian markets.

On the subject of rooftops and other residential and commercial solar applications, there's a noticeable increase in the number of building integrated PV (BIPV) and novel rooftop applications on the show floor this year.

One of the largest exhibitors of such a product this year is Unigreen Energy, which also own heterojunction (HJ) specialist Hevel, and is exhibiting its BIPV HJ modules at Intersolar 2021. The products, which have a power output of up to 395Wp, are available in up to 150 colours – some of which were on display – and various prints to suit a project's demand..
