Students watched the presentation about the company’s new international project that would be implemented in the Murmansk region. This will be the most powerful wind farm above the Arctic circle.
«I learned a lot of new information about our city, namely that electricity can be obtained in other ways. By means of wind turbines, for example. In the near future 57 such constructions will be installed in Murmansk what will lower our electric bills and improve the environmental situation in the region — as the wind power is a renewable source of energy,» said Yulia Shevyakova, a student of the Murmansk Cadet School and the project participant.
The importance of the right choice of the future profession was also mentioned during the visit.
