These turbines are specifically optimized for low wind conditions, with a 160-meter rotor and hub heights reaching up to 140 meters, making them well-suited for India's wind energy landscape.

The contract includes the supply of turbines, installation supervision, and a comprehensive operations and maintenance agreement to ensure the turbines' long-term performance. Dr. Faruk G. Patel, Managing Director of KP Energy, emphasized the importance of partnering with companies that share a commitment to excellence in performance and execution. Amit Kansal, CEO and MD of Senvion India, expressed pride in continuing the partnership with KP Energy, highlighting the growing industry trend toward high-performance turbines tailored to Indian conditions.

The turbine is also designed to comply with Indian grid codes, offering both enhanced performance and serviceability. This project marks a significant step for KP Energy in expanding India's renewable energy capacity with cutting-edge wind technology.
