Altren, a daughter company of ULNANOTECH, and German company Freqcon have signed an agreement for mutual marketing of Freqcon package solutions for isolated areas, storage management systems and converters for wind turbines in Russia. In the framework of the agreement, Altren will perform the distribution of Freqcon’s solutions and it will lead to further development of the wind energy in the Ulyanovsk region and in Russia.

The Agreement has been signed by Andrey Redkin, CEO of Altren and Andrey Fritz, deputy general director of Freqcon. The ceremony of signing was held on 23 May at the International Forum on Renewable Energy ARWE-2019.

In the future the companies are planning to continue the production localization project for Wind Energy Industry in the Ulyanovsk region and establish a joint venture for assembling converters, inverters and other equipment for wind turbines developed by Freqcon. 

“Freqcon is one of the leading engineering companies in its segment. Collaboration with Freqcon enables handling specific engineering problems we are not able to resolve using our own resources. Particularly, we are working on the projects for remote energy systems and with support of Freqcon’s team have an opportunity to select package solutions combining wind generation, solar generation, diesel generation, management systems and energy storage systems. We also collaborate in the search for companies interested in wind turbine components production localization. We have strong hopes that as a result, our cooperation will lead to joint production and establishing of joint engineering company where Freqcon together with Russian engineers will solve such problems in the Russian Federation,” – noted Andrey Redkin, CEO of Altren LLC.

Norbert Hennchen, CEO of Freqcon believes that the renewable energy in Russia has high potential and cooperation in this field is very promising. “We expect that our partnership with Altren will be mutually beneficial and advance the development of green energy in Russia,”- said Norbert Hennchen.
