GE Vernova has received an order from O2 Power Private Limited to supply, install, and commission 36 units of its workhorse 2.7-132 onshore wind turbines for the 97 MW wind power projects in Maharashtra, India. The agreement will enable the supply of renewable energy to various industries and commercial establishments in India – and will contribute towards India’s target of 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.
The wind farm is targeted to be commissioned in a phased manner with full commissioning in the early phase of calendar year 2025. With this latest order, GE’s 2.7-132 wind turbines made in India have received over 3.5 GW+ of orders to-date.
Commenting on the order, Deepak Maloo, Regional Sales Leader for GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business in Asia Pacific, said, “We are thankful to O2 Power for the confidence in our 2.7-132 wind turbine platform and look forward to furthering our partnership with them as they continue to build their renewable energy portfolio. We are also pleased with the continued trust that customers have shown in GE Vernova’s technology portfolio and capability to deliver on-time turbines for large wind farms.”
GE’s 2.7-132 wind turbine has proven to be the technology of choice for many customers in India due to its industry leading performance at India’s low wind speeds. GE Vernova is on track to add 1.2 GW in new installs during current fiscal year ending March 2024.
