GE Vernova announced that it has been selected by Amplus Solar as its onshore wind turbine supplier for its first wind farm to be installed in Tamil Nadu, India.

GE Vernova will supply and commission 40 units of its 2.7-132 onshore wind turbines for this 108 MW wind power project.

Through this order, GE tapped 3 GW of orders in India with its 2.7 MW turbine and expects to cross 5 GW of onshore wind installed base in the country by early 2024.

Amplus Solar’s wind farm will be commenced by August 2024 and will facilitate accessible, affordable, and reliable green energy to local businesses and consumers.

Deepak Maloo, Regional Sales Leader for GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business in Asia Pacific added, “We are pleased with the continued trust that customers in India have shown in our technology and our ability to deliver turbines for large wind farms. GE has demonstrated expertise in India, having installed over 50% of new wind capacity in the country last year. We are thankful to Amplus Solar for entrusting us with their first wind farm and look forward to furthering our partnership as the company continues to build its renewable energy portfolio under the leadership of Petronas.”

The project will leverage GE’s significant local footprint in India with product design primarily at GE’s Technology Center in Bengaluru, turbines assembled at GE’s manufacturing facility in Pune and blades manufactured at LM Wind Power’s plant in Vadodara.

GE Vernova with over 25 years of experience in the industry and an installed base of over 54,000 turbines in more than 50 nations throughout the world, offers a portfolio of turbines for a wide range of site conditions.

Amplus Solar is Asia's leading distributed energy firm facilitating clean energy solutions to commercial and industrial customers by establishing on-site solar projects (rooftop and ground-mounted) and off-site solar farms.
