Siemens Gamesa gets twin wind power orders

Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has bagged two orders from Alfanar to supply equipment for generation of 453 MW at two wind farms at Bhuj in Gujarat. The Spanish firm has secured its first order in India from Alfanar for supply of 206 units of the SG 2.2-122 wind turbines for the two wind farms, a company statement said, elaborating that the SG 2.2-122 is specifically optimized for low wind, low turbulence sites typical of the Indian market. Both projects will be located in Bhuj, where the company will supply equipment for generation of 202 MW for one project and 251 MW for the other. The wind farms are expected to be commissioned by 2020. As one of the global players for developing renewable projects, the company is fortunate to partner with Siemens Gamesa yet again, this time for part of the 600 MW portfolio awarded under the SECI bids which it is developing in Bhuj, India, said, CEO, Alfanar Global Development, Jamal Wadi. With more than 3 GW of greenfield development in the pipeline for Alfanar in India, the main goal is to provide value and benefit to the community by partnering with reliable manufacturers.
