Gamesa has been contracted by the renewable energy player, Ostro Energy, to build two 100MW wind farms under a turnkey arrangement.
Under the terms of the contract Gamesa will install 50 of its G97-2.0MW class S turbines at the Amba wind farm, located in the province of Madhya Pradesh, and a further 50 turbines of the same make at the Nimbagallu wind farm, in Andhra Pradesh. With a tower height of 104 metres, this new turbine variant is custom-designed for the low wind speed sites typical of India. Gamesa will handle all of the infrastructure needed to install and operate the project. The Nimbagallu wind farm is due for commissioning in December 2016, while the Amba project should be online by February 2017.
