100MW wind power project in Madhya Pradesh soon to rise

50 new turbines will be installed.

CLP India recently announced the signing of a turnkey project to construct 100MW wind farm in Chandgarh, Madhya Pradesh.

According to a release from CLP India, the new wind project will increase CLP India’s wind power portfolio close to 1100MW spanned across six states: Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and now Madhya Pradesh.

CLP India’s business philosophy lays significant emphasis on renewable energy to assist its growth plans and achieve its commitment towards environmental sustainability.

Here's more from CLP India:

Rajiv Mishra, Managing Director, CLP India said: “CLP India is the largest wind power producer in India and we are proud to announce our first project in Madhya Pradesh. We see enormous potential in the Indian power market, especially in the renewables field, and we are actively seeking new opportunities across the country to capture this potential.”

As per the agreement, Gamesa will handle the entire infrastructure needed to set up and operate the wind farm, including installation of 50 new G97 2.0 MW turbines with extended hub height of 104m. The G97-2.0 MW– T104m turbine is specifically designed for Indian wind conditions at low wind speed sites offering low cost energy, thereby improving operational efficiency. The contract also includes a long term operation and maintenance service.

Prior to this, Gamesa has commissioned 60MW wind farm in Jath, Maharashtra in March 2014 for CLP India. This new contract puts Gamesa’s 2014 Indian order intake at 850 MW. From January to September, India accounted for 27% of the MW sold by Gamesa, signifying its growing contribution in the Indian wind power market.

“I am glad this project has further strengthened our collaboration with CLP India. Being a strong advocate for renewable energy resources, Gamesa’s effort in influencing positive climate change compliments that of CLP India’s and we are working together to lower India’s carbon footprint.” said Ramesh Kymal, Chairman and Managing Director, Gamesa India.
