GE Renewable Energy will supply 42 units of onshore wind turbines for wind hybrid projects totaling a capacity of 110 MW to CleanMax, a renewable energy company.
These wind farms will contribute significantly to India's commitment to harness the majority of its electricity from renewable sources meeting its target of 175 GW of renewable energy (with 60 GW coming from wind) by 2022.
GE's 2.7-132 wind turbine is well suited to meet the needs of customers due to its efficiency in capitalising on India's low wind speeds.
These projects will leverage GE Renewable Energy's significant local footprint in India with product design taking place primarily at GE's Technology Centre in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Blades being manufactured at GE's plants in Vadodara and Bengaluru and assembly being done at the GE multi-modal manufacturing facility in Pune, Maharashtra.
Combining onshore and offshore wind, blades, hydro, storage, utility-scale solar and grid solutions as well as hybrid renewables and digital services offerings, GE Renewable Energy has installed more than 400+ GW of clean renewable energy and equipped more than 90 percent of utilities worldwide with its grid solutions.
