K.P. Energy Commissions 25.2 MW ISTS Connected Wind Power Project At Sidhpur

K.P Energy Limited, a Balance of Plant (BoP) solutions provider for the wind energy industry commissioned a 25.2MW (Phase-VI) Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) connected wind power project at Sidhpur, in Devbhoomi Dwarka

The wind energy company is involved in the entire wind farm development value chain, right from conceptualization to the commissioning of the project. The project comprises 12 wind turbine generation systems (WGTS). These WTGs are of 2.1 MW capacity each at the Sidhpur site in Devbhoomi Dwarka. This project comprised of Phase-VI commissioning is a part of the 250.8MW ISTS connected wind power project capacity awarded to Apraava Energy by Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) under Tranche-VIII bidding.

KP Energy is developing the Project for Apraava Energy as a contractor under the land and balance of plant contract. With the present Phase-VI commissioning, the net cumulative capacity commissioned at the Sidhpur site stands at 163.8MW (i.e., 52.5MW + 29.4MW + 25.2MW + 21MW+ 10.5MW + 25.2MW) against the awarded capacity of 250.8MW.

Last year, KP Energy Limited was awarded a contract through the Notification of Award (NOA) for the development of a 464.10 MW Balance of System package for an Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) connected wind energy project to be developed in the state of Gujarat. The contract has been awarded by NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NTPC REL) through a competitive bidding process.

That project was under the firm’s ‘Captive Power Producer (CPP)’ business segment. Under the contract, the firm will provide a comprehensive range of services, including Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC). These services encompass the acquisition and transfer of land for the project, the supply of all necessary equipment for the balance of the plant, and the provision of various services related to unloading, storage, on-site handling, installation, insurance, civil and allied works, integration into the grid, testing, and commissioning. Additionally, the firm will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the contract scope for three years.
