Inox Wind, a wind energy solutions provider, has secured an order for 150 MW wind power project from NTPC Renewable Energy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTPC, to be commissioned in the state of Gujarat.
This, amongst many more in future, will help NTPC achieve its target of having over 60 GW renewable energy capacity constituting nearly 50 percent of its overall power generation capacity by 2032.
The project will be executed on a turnkey basis at Dayapar site, Kutch district and is scheduled to be commissioned by April 2023.
Inox Wind had earlier executed 50 MW turnkey wind project for NTPC in Gujarat a few years ago. As part of the order, Inox Wind will supply and install DF 113/92 -- two MW capacity wind turbine generators with 113 mtr rotor diameter and 92 mtr hub height.
The common infrastructure facilities such as the 220 kV pooling substation at Dayapar and extra high voltage transmission line have already been commissioned and thus the project will be executed on a plug-and-play basis with a shorter gestation period.
Further, as part of the order, Inox Wind will provide comprehensive operation and maintenance (O&M) for the lifetime of the project. This will add to its multi-GW O&M fleet and help grow the overall profitability.
India has announced a renewable energy target of 175 GW by 2022 and a target of 450 GW by 2030.
