Senvion wins 30 MW EPC project from Engie

Senvion, a leading global manufacturer of wind turbines, has been awarded a 30 MW onshore wind project from Engie - one of the world renowned clean energy companies, to deliver the Tithwa Project (won through Gujarat state competitive reverse auctions), as a sign of growing emphasis on renewable energy in India.

The project will comprise 13 Senvion 2.3M120 turbines at 120m height which will produce enough clean energy to supply the power needs of almost 33,000 Indian homes. Key factors for awarding the contract to Senvion included technical strength and LCOE predominance. The project is slated to be commissioned within the next 12 months. The project scope includes a 10-year comprehensive operations and maintenance (O&M) contract.

Jürgen Geissinger, CEO of Senvion, said: "Senvion's technological experience as well as our rigorous geographic expansion convinced again our customer Engie - we now offer the right solutions for highly competitive markets as the Indian. Engie's decision represents another milestone in the successful globalization strategy of Senvion: technological strength and reliable partnerships are key to enter and to expand in new growing attractive markets.
