Clean energy firm ReNew Power has commissioned 300 MW wind power project in Gujarat, the biggest such project since the industry faced pandemic-related issues.
This is also ReNew Power's first project since it formally announced its listing on NASDAQ through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger with RMG Acquisition Corp-II at a valuation of USD eight billion.
The wind farm consists of 120 turbines, 73 km EHV transmission lines and over 330 km medium voltage transmission lines.
The project, in Gadhsisa village of Kutch district, was awarded in an auction conducted by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). It will provide power to Haryana and Odisha.
The commissioning of the project takes ReNew Power's wind capacity to 950 MW in Gujarat. Their total capacity in India is currently at 9,900 MW, out of which 5,400 MW is operational and a further 4,500 MW is under construction.
