Ulyanovsk (Simbirskaya) wind farm is a 35 MW wind power plant in Ulyanovsk, Russia. It is operated by PJSC "Fortum". Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 30k homes (estimated). It ranks #493 of 678 Russia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2018, it is around 8 years old — recently built. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, wind supplies about 0.3% of Russia's electricity; the national grid averages 450 gCO₂/kWh (35.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Technically it is described as Onshore. Wind turbines convert moving air into electricity; output is variable and site-dependent, and modern turbines deliver some of the lowest-cost new generation on many grids.

This wind plant converts the kinetic energy of wind into electricity through turbine rotors. It sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 54.3°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
