Vestas Strenghtens Market Position in India

The company has secured its first order of the year with a 101 MW Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) project in India from Trinethra Wind & Hydro Power Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of Continuum Wind Energy Pvt Ltd. The project is designed to sell power to commercial and industrial consumers through a third-party PPA.

The wind farm is located at Rajkot in the state of Gujarat and will consist of 46 V120-2.2 MW turbines. Upon completion of the project, Vestas will commence a 15-year full scope Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement as well as a Vestas Online® Business SCADA solution. 

“We are very excited to start the year with an EPC order in India; this showcases the confidence and trust that our customers have in our capabilities across the full range of projects. We will be working closely with our partners to help India meet its renewable energy needs while enhancing the Indian wind energy sector by providing long-term job opportunities as well as low-cost energy to the local community”, said Clive Turton, President of Vestas Asia Pacific.
