GE Renewable Energy has won a 110MW order to supply 42 onshore wind turbines to CleanMax across three projects in India.
The 2.7-132 wind turbine has been chosen due to its efficiency in capitalising on India’s low wind speeds, according to GE.
These projects will leverage GE’s significant local footprint in India with product design taking place primarily at GE’s Technology Centre in Bengaluru, blades being manufactured in GE’s plants in Vadodara and Bengaluru and assembly at the GE Multi-modal Manufacturing Facility in Pune.
GE Renewable Energy’s regional leader for onshore wind business in South Asia and ASEAN Gilan Sabatier said: “This marks the beginning of what we hope will be a long-lasting partnership positioning GE Renewable Energy as a trusted renewable energy partner for companies and governments.
“It is a landmark project that demonstrates what we can achieve with new economic models, and we are thrilled and thankful to have formed a new relationship with CleanMax.”
Founder and managing director of CleanMax Kuldeep Jain said: “We are delighted to partner with GE for the first deliveries of their new generation 2.7MW wind turbines in India under our multi-year framework agreement with GE Renewable Energy.”
