Vestas has won a 101MW engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) project in India from Continuum Wind Energy subsidiary Trinethra Wind & Hydro Power.
Located in Rajkot in the Indian state of Gujarat, the project will sell electricity generated to commercial and industrial consumers through third-party power purchase agreements (PPA).
Under the contract, Vestas will be responsible for the delivery, installation and commissioning of 46 V120-2.2MW turbines, as well as the project’s civil and electrical work.
Continuum Wind Energy CEO Arvind Bansal said: “Continuum has enjoyed its relationship with Vestas and looks forward to deploying their latest offering of V120-2.2MW turbines in India for the first phase of 101MW of the 350MW project.
“Vestas’ offering will help us provide high-quality and reliable service to our prestigious commercial and industrial customers in Gujarat. We are encouraged by the increasing interest of commercial and industrial customers in purchasing renewable energy.”
Vestas intends to deliver the turbines in the first quarter of this year and commissioning is expected to take place by the second quarter of 2019.
