Per the deal, GE will provide and commission 40 units of 2.7-132 onshore wind turbines for the Tamil Nadu based 108 MW wind power plant. The turbines will be designed at GE’s Technology Center in Bengaluru and assembled at the manufacturing facility in Pune. The blades of the turbines will be produced at Vadodara’s LM Wind Power plant.

Amplus’ wind farm will be operational by August 2024. Upon completion, the facility will provide cost-effective, steady and accessible green energy to Tamil Nadu’s businesses and consumers. The deal is also in line with India’s carbon reduction goals.
