Senvion India has received its first order for its recently launched 4.2M160 wind turbine.
Under the conditional agreement, it will supply 50 turbines totalling 210MW to Continuum Green Energy. The project location is yet to be confirmed, but will be in either Gujarat or Karnataka in India, with deliveries slated to start in April 2026, Senvion India said.
In addition to the initial 50 turbines, the agreement allows for an increase of up to 50 units, potentially expanding the project's footprint in Gujarat and other states.
Senvion India said the order is a significant milestone in its ongoing collaboration with Continuum Green Energy.
The project will include the installation of Senvion's 4.2MW turbines, which were launched earlier this week at the WindEnergy Hamburg 2024 conference in Germany (24-27 September).
The turbine's modular design and site-specific adaptations allow it to efficiently meet the specific needs of each installation site, according to the company.
