Greenko is developing a pipeline of wind projects in the Indian states of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Rajasthan, which the new venture will own.
Once operational, the venture’s wind portfolio could power 875,000 average households and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 700,000t/year
The venture’s first project, the 65MW Ratnagiri wind farm in Maharashtra, is expected to be completed in December and will use GE’s 1.6-megawatt turbines.
