The project was awarded to Apraava Energy as part of the Tranche VIII wind tender sponsored by Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). With this addition, Apraava’s operational wind portfolio now stands at ~1200 MW.
Commenting on the project, Rajiv Ranjan Mishra, Managing Director, Apraava Energy, said, "As early adopters of wind energy in India, this milestone further solidifies our foothold in the wind industry. I am incredibly proud of our team, our OEM partner, Suzlon, and our local project development partners for their dedication to maintain the highest operational standards in completing this project."
"Gujarat remains a pivotal hub for expanding our low-carbon energy portfolio, and we thank the state for its constant support. Our commitment to helping India achieve its green energy goals is stronger than ever,” added Mishra.
The Sidhpur wind project has secured a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with SECI for 25 years at a competitive tariff of INR 2.83/kWh. The project incorporates state-of-the-art technologies, such as advanced fire-suppression systems and sophisticated condition monitoring systems for wind turbine generators (WTGs).
In addition to the Sidhpur wind project, Apraava operates two wind projects: 50.4 MW in Mahidad and 100.8 MW in Samana. The company has also recently been awarded a project to install ~ 2.3 million smart meters in Gujarat. Two decades ago, Apraava began its journey in India by operating a 655 MW gas-based combined-cycle power plant in Bharuch, Gujarat, and completed its tenure under the PPA.
