India’s renewable power producer Mytrah Energy exceeded its expected target for wind power generation in the 2016 season.
An additional 210 MW has been commissioned at its Vajrakarur 2, Nidhi and Nazeerabad projects, increasing the company’s operating wind portfolio to 826.4 MW at the start of the 2016 wind season, 83MW ahead of the company’s initial target.
Mytrah chairman and chief executive Ravi Kailas, said: “I am delighted that we have commenced the 2016 wind season with 826.4 MW of operating wind assets. Mytrah has added 283 MW of wind capacity over the last 12 months – well ahead of our initial 200 MW target.
“We have excellent operational momentum now in both wind and solar which is developing Mytrah into a well-diversified renewable energy business. With the additional capacity in place Mytrah is in a strong position to meet its overall targets for 2016.”
Extensive progress has been made on additional wind project construction the company said in a statement, with 90 MW erected and expected to be commissioned later this year, and a further 87 MW planned before mid-2017, taking capacity to 1000 MW.
In addition to the wind capacity expansion, development of the company’s solar pipeline continues.
