This Rs.283-crore wind power project was executed through M/s Gamesa
Wind Turbines Private Ltd., involving erection of 56 wind turbines, each
of 850 KW, the company said in a statement. This is the second
green initiative of NALCO for promoting sustainable development by
harnessing unconventional and renewable energy sources that would credit
the company with incentives from the government.
Earlier, the
company commissioned its first 50.4 MW wind power plant at a cost of
Rs.274 crore at Gandikota of Kadapa district in Andhra Pradesh in
December 2012. The company is also planning to set up the third
wind power plant in its own mined out area of Panchpatmali bauxite
deposit in Koraput, Odisha, it said. The Bhubaneswar-headquartered
NALCO is India's third largest aluminium maker. As part of its
diversification plans, it has been foraying into other metals and energy
sectors.
