The Bhuj project will comprise Senvion 2.3M130 wind turbines with a hub height of 130m. This is the second large scale order for the new turbine of the 2.XM class within a week, which shows the global competitiveness of the turbine. Continuum Wind Energy has already won a Power Purchase Agreement for the project in the round 4 bidding from Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited, which is a company of India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
Continuum has achieved advanced development of the project upon execution of the PPA, execution of definitive contracts between Continuum and Senvion, and financial closure. The installation of the turbines is expected to start in the second half of 2019 and is planned to be completed by the beginning of 2020. The turbines will supply enough energy for almost 288,000 Indian households.
Arvind Bansal, Chief Executive Officer of Continuum Wind Energy Ltd., said, "Continuum is excited to be partnering with Senvion to execute our largest wind project to date. With this, we emphasize our claim to support India's ambitious goal to achieve an installed capacity of 175 GW of renewable energy sources till 2022."
With this contract signature, the total order book of Senvion in India in 2018 is now approximately 680 MW.
