Wind Farm Commissioned

 

Greenko, the Indian developer, owner and operator of clean energy projects, is pleased to announce that Phase-2 (50.0 MW) of its Basvanbagewadi wind farm in Karnataka has been commissioned, providing electricity to the grid and selling its power directly to leading global technology companies and commercial customers via an attractive 10-year indexed power purchase agreement.

 

Including Phase-1 (51.2 MW) and the Mangalore (15 MW) and Matrix (15 MW) projects which have already been commissioned, this takes the total generating capacity at the Basvanbagewadi wind farm to 131.2 MW. It also takes Greenko's total generating portfolio to 611 MW, nearly doubling capacity since April 2013.

 

Basvanbagewadi Phase-2 ("BB2") is the first project that Greenko has commissioned so far this financial year and brings the Company's total wind power capacity to 298 MW in time for the 2014 wind season, which typically starts in July. The total cost for Phase-2 was approximately €45 million using Gamesa G97-2.0 MW turbines, which have a 90m hub height, 97m diameter blades and the potential to deliver a better than 30% capacity factor in an average year. The project has immediate access to the grid, as the connection for the site's full capacity of 180 MW was completed in October 2013 ahead of Phase 1's commissioning.

 

Commenting on the project, Anil Chalamalasetty, CEO of Greenko, said: "We are delighted to have commissioned another wind project ahead of the 2014 wind season. The Company's strategy of building large wind farms in a phased manner, using the latest low wind speed turbine technology connected to the high voltage transmission grid, means Greenko is increasingly well placed to deliver significant, predictable and profitable growth. We expect to reach about 700 MW operating capacity to capture the season."
