GE Vernova has been awarded a 97MW turbine order for a wind project in Maharashtra, India.
The order, from O2 Power Private Limited, is for the supply, installation and commissioning 36 units of GE’s workhorse 2.7-132 wind turbines.
The agreement will enable the supply of renewable energy to various industries and commercial establishments in India and will contribute towards India’s target of 500GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.
The wind farm is targeted to be commissioned in a phased manner with full commissioning in the first half of 2025.
With this latest order, GE’s 2.7-132 wind turbines made in India have received over 3.5GW of orders to-date.
