On Tuesday, ReNew Power announced that the first 3x platform wind turbine generators (WTGs) had been installed in India in Gadag, Karnataka.
The WTGs are 128-140m tall and have a nameplate capacity of 3.3-3.465 MW. In comparison to versions already installed in India, which typically have a nameplate capacity of 2-3 MW, they offer much more capacity, the business claimed in a news release.
"Round the Clock" Renewable Energy
The country's first "Round the Clock" renewable energy project, which combines wind, solar, and a battery energy storage system, will include the new WTGs (BESS). More than 1 million Indian households will receive enough electricity each year from this initiative to run their homes.
The installations have been carried out by an internal wind EPC team, a first for an Indian company, and include land acquisition, foundation building, crane management for WTG installations, and transmission build-out. The WTGs were installed on-site by ReNew for five days each.
"As a group, we constantly advocate for the introduction and widespread use of renewable energy sources in India. We want an India without carbon emissions, one whose growth is driven by renewable energy "said Sumant Sinha, ReNew Power's chairman, and CEO.
Wind Energy Supporting India's Economic Growth
Sinha continued by saying that Indian businesses may grow without creating pollution by using renewable energy. "This installation moves us one step closer to our objective of speeding the sustainable energy transition and supporting India's economic growth."
A dedicated Wind Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) team served as the team's leader. They assisted ReNew Power in installing more than 400MW of WTGs at various locations throughout Gujarat and Karnataka.
"These installations, along with the new WTGs, will allow ReNew to fulfill its 13.4 GW total portfolio. In addition, 1500 MW of wind power projects that are scheduled to be completed in FY23 are now being built in Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Gujarat”. The news statement stated that additional installations of 3x Platform Wind Turbine Generators were also planned for other locations.
