New Delhi : GE Renewable Energy on Thursday said it has received an order from JSW Energy to supply 810 megawatt (MW) of onshore wind turbines for their upcoming wind farms in Tamil Nadu.
The turbines will produce enough green energy to meet the annual electricity requirements of more than 2.1 million households in the country, according to the official press release.
“Our company has set a target to reach 20 GW of power generation capacity by 2030, by which the share of green and renewable energy projects will increase to 85 per cent of the total portfolio. The under-construction project is our first large-scale wind power project,” said Prashant Jain, joint managing director and chief executive officer (CEO), JSW Energy.
The supply of the turbines will start by the second quarter of 2022 and be completed by the first quarter of 2023. Blades will be provided by LM Wind Power, a GE Renewable Energy business, from its Indian factory in Halol, Gujrat.
