GE Vernova has been selected by Amplus Solar as the onshore wind turbine supplier for its first wind farm to be installed in Tamil Nadu. GE Vernova will supply and commission 40 units of its 2.7-132 onshore wind turbines for this 108 MW wind power project. With this order, GE recorded more than 3 GW of orders in India with its 2.7 MW turbine and anticipates crossing 5 GW of onshore wind installed base in the country by early 2024.
Amplus Solar’s wind farm will be commissioned by August 2024. The wind farm will provide accessible, affordable, and reliable green energy to local businesses and consumers. The project will leverage GE’s significant local footprint in India with product design primarily at GE’s technology centre in Bengaluru, turbines assembled at GE’s manufacturing facility in Pune and blades manufactured at LM Wind Power’s plant in Vadodara.
In March 2023, Amplus Solar entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Andhra Pradesh government to set up multiple decentralised green hydrogen production plants in the state. The company aims to set up 7.5 KPTA-distributed green hydrogen plants for industrial consumption in Andhra Pradesh with an investment (including on-site hydrogen production plants and off-site wind and solar energy plants) of Rs 15 billion.
