India's GAIL picks Gamesa turbines as it begins wind push

The order is for 29 of Gamesa’s G58-850kW turbines for a project in Palani, Tamil Nadu, with commissioning expected to take place in March 2012.

The order follows a decision by GAIL India’s board to enter the wind market, with plans to build four 25MW wind farms across Tamil Nadu and Karnataka states during the current financial year.

GAIL was formed in the 1980s as a Central Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) to build and operate the 1800km HVJ project, one of the largest gas pipelines in the world.
