Gamesa is to build two 100MW wind farms under a turnkey arrangement for Ostro Energy in India.
The Spanish manufacturer will install 50 G97 2MW class S turbines at the Amba wind farm in Madhya Pradesh, and a further 50 units of the same make at the Nimbagallu wind farm in Andhra Pradesh.
The 104-metre high turbine is certified by TÜV Nord and is custom-designed for the low wind speed sites typical of India, said Gamesa.
The company will handle all of the infrastructure needed to install and operate the project. The Nimbagallu project is due for commissioning in December 2016, while Amba should be online by February 2017.
Gamesa chairman and managing director of its Indian operations Ramesh Kymal said: “Gamesa has astutely leveraged its experience as wind farm developer and its broad range of products tailored to the idiosyncrasies of each market to become the number-one OEM in India, one of Gamesa’s key regions.”
