CLP India, the Indian subsidiary of Hongkong-based power company CLP, has awarded a 100MW wind power project in Madhya Pradesh to wind energy firm Gamesa.
The project is a turnkey project to construct 100MW wind farm in Chandigarh, Madhya Pradesh.
The Chandigarh project is due for commissioning in December 2015, it added.
The new wind project will increase CLP India's wind power portfolio close to 1100MW across six states - Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh.
Gamesa will handle the entire infrastructure needed to set up and operate the wind farm, including installation of 50 new G97 2.0 MW turbines with extended hub height of 104m. The G97-2.0 MW- T104m turbine is specifically designed for Indian wind conditions at low wind speed sites offering low cost energy, thereby improving operational efficiency.
The contract also includes a long term operation and maintenance service.
Gamesa had commissioned 60MW wind farm in Jath, Maharashtra in March 2014 for CLP India.
This new contract puts Gamesa's 2014 Indian order intake at 850 MW. From January to September, India accounted for 27 per cent of the MW sold by Gamesa.
