Ekaterinburg, July 6th, 2021 - Within the framework of the International Industrial Exhibition INNOPROM-2021, in the presence of the Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov, Enel Country Manager and General Director of Enel Russia Stephane Zweguintzow and the Governor of the Rostov Region Vasily Golubev signed a Cooperation Agreement.

It is aimed at implementation of a potential investment project for the construction of a wind farm in the Rostov region. The second Enel's wind farm project in the Rostov region will be developed provided that it receives quotas based on the results of the competitive selections of investment projects for the construction of renewable energy generating facilities, that are planned for 2021-2025 within the framework of the second program of state support for generation based on renewable energy sources (DPM RES-2.0).

'Enel is constantly looking for the opportunities to expand its portfolio of renewable energy projects in Russia. It is important for us as well to see the prospective interest in the region in reducing the carbon footprint and developing new technologies for a sustainable economy. This year we have commissioned our first wind farm in Russia in the Rostov region, a region rich in natural potential with the necessary infrastructure created and open to interaction.'

- Enel Country Manager in Russia Stephane Zweguintzow

'We are continuing our partnership with Enel. I consider it successful; we recently opened the first wind farm of this Italian company in the Azov region. I'm convinced that the agreements reached today would bear new fruits.'

- Governor of the Rostov region Vasily Golubev

Under the terms of the signed Agreement, the Government of the Rostov Region will assist in organizational, state and informational support for the potential project, as well as consider the possibility of including it in the 'Governor's hundred investment projects' in the region.
