The round table devoted to the construction and operation of two wind power plants in the Kherson region, namely Overyanovskaya WPP and Novotroitskaya WPP with a total installed capacity of 140 MW, was organized by wind project developers Vindcraft Ukraina and Vindkraft Tavria under support of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association (UWEA) and a Research and Production Enterprise `Ecodefence`. The round table was held on 15 March 2016 in the premises of the Kherson Regional State Administration. The event was conducted as a part of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment procedure.
