Watsun Infra Private Limited, a subsidiary of Continuum Wind Energy, has placed a 96 MW order for the second phase of the 150 MW Periyapatti Wind Farm in the state of Tamil Nadu. The project showcases the 2 MW platform’s flexibility by optimising wind park layout to the site’s wind conditions and employing 34 V100-2.0 MW turbines as well as 14 V110-2.0 MW turbines that combined maximise energy production.
