Envision Energy, a prominent provider of renewable energy solutions, has clinched a substantial contract from JSW Energy for the development of a wind energy park in Karnataka and Maharashtra. This project boasts an impressive capacity of 653.4 MW and will be powered by 198 EN 156-3.3 MW Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs), specifically tailored by Envision for the Indian wind conditions. Anticipated for completion by the close of 2024, this wind energy park is projected to generate 2200 GWh of clean energy, significantly contributing to India’s ambition of achieving net-zero emissions.
The collaboration between Envision and JSW Energy signifies a momentous advancement for renewable energy in Karnataka and Maharashtra, promising a substantial boost to the region’s clean energy capacity. Envision’s WTGs, known for their optimization capabilities in countries like China and Vietnam, feature a rotor diameter of 156 meters, a hub height of 140 meters, and a rated capacity of 3.3 MW. Envision has invested approximately Rs 500 crore in the Indian market, creating more than 2,000 jobs directly and indirectly.
