By GlobalDataThe wind farm is part of a 989MW wind-solar hybrid project by AMGEPL in the Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh.
Clean energy generated by the wind facility will be used by the AM/NS India steel plant located at Hazira in the state of Gujarat.
It will also support AM/NS India’s decarbonisation efforts, helping the company meet 20% of its electricity requirements from renewable resources.
Siemens Gamesa will manufacture the wind turbines at its production facilities in India, and plans to deliver them in the second quarter of 2023.
Siemens Gamesa Asia Pacific onshore business CEO Navin Dewaji said: “This partnership with the world’s second-largest steel producer opens up a huge opportunity for the wind industry in India, especially for the power-intensive steel industry which is fast-tracking its efforts to meet carbon emissions goals.
“We are confident in delivering this landmark project that will help give fresh renewable momentum to the state of Andhra Pradesh.”
