No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Ecology, Regions, Technology
Prymorsk is a town with a population of about 12 thousand people located in the south of Zaporizhia Oblast, about 42 km west of Berdyansk. This year, a new landmark appeared in the vicinity of the town – huge wind turbines that are visible for dozens of kilometers and even from Berdyansk.
By 2020, it is planned to launch two wind farms – Prymorsk Wind Farm #1 and Prymorsk Wind Farm #2 with a total installed capacity of about 200 megawatts (in total, 52 wind turbines, the blade length – 25 meters). They look especially picturesque when all fields are yellow from harvest. Prymorsk on Google Maps. Photos by: Alexey Novik.

The main architectural dominant of the town is the majestic neo-Gothic Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary built in the early 20th century, an architectural monument of local importance. Few provincial towns of Ukraine have such a spectacular building. Kamianka-Buzka on Google Maps. Photos by: Maxim Ritus.
