Apraava Energy has commissioned a 250.7 MW wind power project in the Sidhpur region of Devbhoomi Dwarka district, Gujarat. The project, awarded under the Tranche VIII wind tender by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), consists of 120 wind turbine generators supplied by Suzlon, each with a rated capacity of 2.1 MW. With this addition, Apraava Energy’s operational wind portfolio now stands at approximately 1,200 MW.
The Sidhpur wind project has secured a 25-year power purchase agreement with SECI at a tariff of Rs 2.83 per kWh.
