Gamesa agrees to install 110 of its G97-2.0 MW turbines in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Karnataka.
Gamesa, a global technology leader in wind energy, has further reinforced its presence in India, a key market for renewable energy development. It has signed new agreements to supply 220 MW[i] to three of the main independent power producers (IPP) companies in the wind energy market. This showcases its commitment to sustainable energy solutions. These agreements not only highlight Gamesa’s robust growth strategy but also contribute significantly to India’s ambitious renewable energy targets. By partnering with these IPPs, Gamesa aims to enhance its operational footprint. Moreover, it will deliver cutting-edge technology and expertise in wind power generation. Ultimately, this is driving the transition towards a greener and more sustainable energy ecosystem in the region.
In total, the company will install 110 of its G97-2.0 MW turbines in five wind farms located in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Karnataka. The wind turbines, which will be made at Gamesa’s local factories, are scheduled for delivery in March 2015. In addition, Gamesa will handle the related O&M services of the wind farms in the long term.
These three new contracts strengthen Gamesa’s orderbook from independent power producers in the Indian wind energy segment. This also boosts its local reputation as a leading turbine manufacturer.
