Envision Energy India has secured a 300 MW order from UPC Renewables India for the supply of 60 units of EN 182 wind turbine generators (WTGs), each with a capacity of 5 MW, for upcoming wind energy projects in Karnataka.

The turbines, equipped with a 182-metre rotor diameter and a 140-metre hub height, are designed to operate efficiently in the state’s wind conditions. Envision said definitive agreements for the first 20 turbines have been completed, covering 100 MW of contracted capacity.

These turbines are scheduled for delivery early next year and will supply power under a contract signed by UPC Renewables with SJVN.

The wind turbines will be installed in Bijapur, Karnataka, where the project aims to harness monsoonal wind patterns and favorable site conditions. The 60 turbines are expected to generate around 900 million units of renewable electricity annually.

Envision stated that its 5 MW turbine platform offers an enhanced annual energy output of over 40% compared to the 3.3 MW platform currently prevalent in India. This additional output is targeted at achieving a lower levelized cost of energy while also requiring fewer land parcels, and addressing right-of-way acquisition challenges seen in large-scale wind projects.

Envision Energy has invested ₹5 billion (~$56 million) to establish a manufacturing base supporting 3 GW of annual nacelle and hub production capacity in Pune and blade manufacturing in Trichy.

It has manufactured over 4,000 MW of wind turbines to date, commissioned more than 1,600 MW of wind projects, and holds an awarded order portfolio of over 13 GW from 26 independent power producer customers.

Globally, the company has 70 GW of installed wind capacity, manages 568 GW of energy assets, and has 15 GWh of energy storage orders.

In October this year, Envision signed an agreement with Evren to supply around 152 wind turbine generators of its EN 156/3.3 MW turbine platform, totaling 501.6 MW.

In the same month, it won an order to supply wind turbine generators for Serentica Renewables‘ 560 MW wind project in India.
