Torrent Power to develop 300 MW wind power project in Karnataka

AHMEDABAD: Torrent Group’s integrated power utility, Torrent Power Limited, on Wednesday announced it has awarded turnkey work for a 300 megawatt (MW) Wind Power project in Karnataka. Suzlon Energy has been awarded the contract after competitive bidding, and is scheduled to be commissioned by March 2025.
Torrent Power currently has an aggregate installed generation capacity of 4.1 gigawatt (GW), which consists largely of clean generation sources such as gas (2.7 GW) and renewables (1.07 GW). Renewable generation plants with 0.4 GW are under development over and above the 300 MW wind project, which was just awarded.
“Torrent’s growth focus in power generation remains on renewables as it continues to add further capacity to its portfolio. With a balanced Wind and Solar portfolio, it is also working on other Green Energy pathways of Pumped Hydro and Green Hydrogen,” the company said in a statement.
