Siemens Gamesa to deliver turbines for 623 MW Onshore wind farms in India

Siemens Gamesa has received an order from ReNew Power to supply its industry-leading turbines to a 322 MW Tondehal wind project and 301 MW Hombal project both located in the state of Karnataka, India.

In total, the company will deliver 180 of its new SG3.4-145 wind turbines in the state of Karnataka, covering 93 units for the Tondehal project in the Koppal district, and 87 units for the 301 MW Hombal project in the Gadag district (87 units, 301 MW). The supply of these turbines is expected to commence during Siemens Gamesa’s financial year 2022.

Siemens Gamesa launched the SG 3.4-145 turbine in 2020 despite an ongoing pandemic, and this marks the first order for this next-generation wind turbine for the Indian market. The SG 3.4-145 wind turbine delivers a nominal power of 3.465 MW and can operate up to 3.6 MW under specific site conditions. With an increased rotor swept area of 41%, which delivers 48% more AEP than the previous SG 2.2-122, it is one of the most efficient and cost-effective solutions

Siemens Gamesa will supply the wind turbines for ReNew Power’s projects from its manufacturing plants in India.
