Gamesa India has signed a 100 MW Wind Power Project Order with Hero Future Energies (HFE), a venture of The Hero Group that caters to providing renewable power.
Under this contract Gamesa will supply and erect 50 units of G97-2.0 MW turbines with a tower height of 104 meters at Dhar site in Madhya Pradesh.
The commissioning is scheduled for completion by March 2016.
The contract also represents HFE’s first self-development project in India, said Rahul Munjal, managing director of Hero Future Energies (HFE).
Completing this and other such developments in the pipeline, our cumulative installed capacity is likely to be over 500 MW by 2016, Munjal added.
This move comes in the backdrop of HFE’s ambition to maximize generation at the farm level.
The partnership also represents the second order Gamesa has won from the Hero Group within a year’s time, with the last one being commissioned in March 2015 for a 90 MW project.
