Envision Energy has won a 198MW order to supply wind turbines to CleanMax for a wind-solar hybrid project in India.
The project is one of the largest hybrid projects developed in the country under the commercial and industrial power offtake segment and consists of 198MW wind and 158MW solar capacity.
A total of 60 units of Envision’s EN156-3.3MW onshore turbines will be supplied for the wind farm in Amreli, Gujarat.
The nacelles and hubs for the turbines will be manufactured in Envision’s India factory in Pune.
Operation and maintenance activities for the machines will be carried out by the Chinese renewables player for the life of the project which is expected to commission in a phased manner by 31 March 2023.
The 60 wind turbines will produce 720 GWh of clean, accessible, and affordable energy annually at 41.5% PLF, adequate to powering 250,000 households.
Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions founder and managing director Kuldeep Jain said: “We are excited to partner with Envision Energy for our upcoming wind-solar hybrid farm in Gujarat.
“The hybrid farm will supply green power to 40+ industrial and commercial consumers in the state, contributing immensely to the country’s energy transition goals.
“CleanMax has always been a pioneer in adopting new technologies and the Gujarat hybrid project will be the first C&I project in the country with the latest generation 3.3 MW wind turbines from Envision.
“We look forward to further collaborations with Envision in the future.”
Envision India managing director and global vice president Kane Xu said: “We are delighted with the confidence expressed in us by the CleanMax group through this order for wind turbines and look forward to collaborating in the space of energy storage and digital solutions as well soon.”
Envision Wind Power Technologies India chief executive officer RPV Prasad said: “We are proud to be selected by the CleanMax group for this unique and important project.
“We look forward to furthering our partnership with CleanMax and to continue supporting and enabling our clients on their energy transition and decarbonization journey in this region and beyond.”
