Newly-created wind OEM giant Siemens Gamesa has been awarded a contract to develop India's first large commercial hybrid wind-solar project.
Under the deal, reached with one of India's “leading independent operators”, the Spain-based group will connect a 28.8MW solar facility to an existing 50MW wind farm.
Siemens Gamesa said it will provide an end-to-end turnkey solution. “Specifically, it will handle the design, engineering and commissioning of the new solar plant (including the supply of PV inverters made by Gamesa Electric) and its hybridisation with an existing wind farm, equipped with the Siemens Gamesa turbines,” it said.
