On 27th December, Siemens Gamesa announced that it has won an order for the supply of wind power turbines to Ayana Renewable Power Six Private Limited in India. The latest project will be a boost to India’s wind power sector. The order is for a total of 84 units of the SG 3.6-145 wind turbines, that will be installed in the Gadag district, Karnataka State for the project.

Ayana first partnered with Siemens Gamesa in 2019 for a 300 MW solar farm in the state of Rajasthan and currently has 3 GW of renewable energy capacity under various stages of development and operation across several Indian states. Ayana Renewable Power won the latest wind power project in the SECI ISTS Tranche X tender and will develop the the required infrastructure for this windfarm in the State of Karnataka.

Navin Dewaji, India CEO of Siemens Gamesa said, “We are happy to announce this new deal with Ayana Renewable Power, one of the fastest growing renewable Independent Power Producers (IPPs) in India. This order significantly helps us as we gear up for the next growth phase for Siemens Gamesa in India. With the SG 3.6-145, a turbine made for India, we are confident we are delivering better value for our customers.”

Siemens Gamesa launched its new tubines in 2020 amid pandemic and announced the first orders for the new turbines in July 2021 for a project of 623MW from India. With the new order for 302MW project, the total orders for the Siemens Gamesa 3.X platform in India stands at 925MW. The turbines for the latest project will be supplied from Siemens’ manufacturing plants in India and the project is expected to be commissioned in 2023.

The SG 3.6-145 wind turbine is an extension of the SG 3.4-145 which is based on the original SG 3.4-132, with several GWs installed worldwide. The latest tubines can achieve a nominal power output of 3.6 MW due to the optimized control system and an improved management of loads under specific site conditions. The latest tubine is one of the most efficient and cost-effective solutions in the market owing to an increased rotor swept area of 41% that delivers 48% more AEP than the previous SG 2.2-122.

Siemens Gamesa is operating in India since 2009 and recently cross the mark of 7GW base installed by the company.
