ReNew Power Limited has announced the successful commissioning of Phase 1 (126 MW) of its 250 MW wind project located in Kutch district of Gujarat.
The 250 MW wind power project was won at a tariff of INR3.46/unit by Ostro Kutch Wind Pvt. Ltd in April 2017 in India’s first wind power reverse auction, concluded by Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) in February 2017 under the 1000 MW Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS).
It became part of ReNew Power's portfolio in March 2018, following the company's acquisition of Ostro Energy Private Limited from Actis.
This commissioning makes ReNew Power the first renewable energy company to commission a wind power project awarded in a SECI auction.
The power generated from this project will be supplied to the Northern and Eastern states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand & Odisha using the ISTS network.
