Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) through its Growth Markets Fund I (CI GMF I) has taken final investment decision on a 300 MW onshore wind project in India together with Viviid Renewables (Viviid), an Indian developer and balance-of-plant service provider.
The project is located in the Indian State of Karnataka and construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. CIP and Viviid will develop and construct the wind farm jointly. Alongside final investment decision, CIP signed equipment orders for the full project capacity and Viviid will provide balance-of-plant works and services and holds a minority ownership position in the project. It will be the first project to be constructed under the partnership between CIP and Viviid, who in January 2023 entered into a framework agreement to develop at least 1.8 GW of renewable energy projects in India. CIP and Viviid have already initiated further project developments which will be realised through CI GMF I’s successor fund CI GMF II.
