Adani Green Energy Implements 50 MW Wind Capacity in Kutch

Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) has announced that it has commissioned 50 megawatts (MW) wind generation capacity in Kutch, Gujarat. The capacity commissioned is a part of the larger 725 MW wind projects that the firm is executing in the region through its subsidiaries.

“AGEL announces commissioning of 50 MW wind energy generation capacity and signing of a power purchase agreement with Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) for a period of 25 years,” a company statement said.

The company plans to commission another 225 MW wind capacity in the area by the second half of 2020, for which the evacuation infrastructure is already in place, it added.

AGEL has partially charged the evacuation infrastructure for connecting its wind projects of 725 MW capacity.

“The evacuation infrastructure connects the plant end pooling sub-station (Ratadia PSS) of the wind projects to the Bhuj Pool Sub Station of PGCIL at 220 KV level through 59 km double circuit transmission lines,” it said.

While the Ratadia PSS has been partially charged to the extent of 300 MW evacuation capacity, the balance capacity shall be charged, in sync with the planned commissioning schedule of the wind projects over the next 15 months, the statement revealed.
