Gamesa to build 130MW of two solar projects in India

Gamesa has signed a deal with Indian developer Atria Power for the construction of 130 MW of solar power at two locations in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.

This is the largest solar order received by the Gamesa since it entered the Indian Solar market sector last year. The Spanish wind turbine manufacturer will develop two solar power plants, with the capacity of 90 MW and 40 MW.

The company will be responsible for the design and engineering of the facilities as per the agreement. It will also handle all the operations and maintenance at the facilities slated for commissioning in March 2017.

Around 961.37 MW photovoltaic inverters will be installed by Gamesa Electric.

Ramesh Kymal, Gamesa’s CEO in India said, “This contract marks a fresh milestone in our strategy in the solar power segment in India.”
