Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has secured a contract in India with Alfanar for the supply of 206 units of the SG 2.2-122 wind turbines for two wind farms, totalling 453 MW. Both projects will be located in Bhuj, Gujarat, where the company will supply 202 MW for one project and 251 MW for the other. The wind farms are expected to be commissioned by 2020.
The SG 2.2-122 is specifically optimized for low wind, low turbulence sites typical of the Indian market, due to its extremely low power density and high efficiency.
