Wind Energy Projects Across India

Earlier this year, SJVN awarded Adyant Enersol (Datta Infra) and UPC Renewables its 600 MW wind energy project. According to the tender results, SJVN awarded a 170 MW project out of the total 600 MW wind project. As per the tender announcement, Adyant Enersol secured a 70 MW wind project at a tariff of ₹3.98/kWh, while UPC Renewables won a 100 MW wind project at ₹3.99/kWh. The relatively high prices are probably a reason why SJVN did not go beyond 170 MW for awarding the tender.

NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NTPC REL) has previously awarded its erstwhile wind energy project to companies like KP Energy for a 464.10 MW Balance of System package, in Gujarat.
