Commissioning of 16.8 MW wind energy project in Rajasthan, India
Mytrah, the India-based renewable focused Independent Power Producer, is pleased to announce the commissioning of the first phase of its wind energy project in Bhesada, Rajasthan ahead of plan.
The 50 MW project will ultimately see the installation of 24 Suzlon wind turbine generators of 2.1 MW each. Phase one, which commences production today, includes an initial 16.8 MW, with the remainder following ahead of the 2016 wind season.
Including this new capacity, Mytrah's wind power portfolio has increased to 560 MW across six Indian states - Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The project is the first of 200 MW of new wind power capacity expected to be added before the 2016 wind season.
Commenting on the latest developments, Ravi Kailas, Chairman and CEO, said: "The commissioning of this wind energy project, well ahead of our original plan, is a strong demonstration of our execution capability. It is the first part of 200 MW of additional capacity which we have planned for the 2016 wind season.
"The demand for renewable energy in India continues to increase, with a Government target of 170 GW by 2022. This supportive environment, combined with Mytrah's extensive project pipeline and financial strength positions the company for continued growth."
