Wind energy in India: Vestas wind turbines for a wind farm

Atria Brindavan Power Private Limited places 40 MW firm and unconditional order for the first phase of the Basavane Bagewadi Wind Farm in the Bijapur district of Karnataka state.

The order includes supply and installation of 18 V110-2.2 MW turbines, a 15-year full-scope Active Output Management 5000 (AOM5000) service agreement as well as a VestasOnline® Business SCADA solution for data-driven monitoring and preventive maintenance.

Turbine delivery and commissioning is expected for the first quarter of 2018.

“India is a key market for Vestas and this order underlines the 2 MW platform’s high versatility, which together with Vestas’ strong service set-up makes it a great fit for the Indian market. We look forward to deliver a top-performing wind energy power plant together with Atria Power”, says Clive Turton, President of Vestas Asia Pacific.

“This is our first project with Vestas, and we appreciate the Vestas team working closely with us from the earliest conceptual stage of this project and providing important value propositions to make this project successful. We are looking forward to a long-term collaboration to ensure optimal operational performance”, states Sunder Raju, Director, Atria Power.

With more than 37 GW installed in 45 countries on six continents since its debut, Vestas’ 2 MW platform is the most widely installed platform in the industry.

Vestas has installed more than 3 GW of turbines in India.
