Nalco to add 100 MW wind power capacity at a cost of Rs 700 crore

NEW DELHI.  Nalco has devised a plan to double its wind power generation capacity to 200 MW with an investment of Rs 700 crore, a top company official said.

 

"We have decided to install an additional 100 MW wind power generation capacity to our existing 100 MW capacity. An investment to the tune of Rs 700 crore will be required for the addition," Nalco's Chairman and Managing Director Ansuman Das told PTI.

 

 

The existing capacity of 100 MW wind energy is located in Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan. The Gandikota unit with 50.4 MW capacity in Andhra Pradesh was commissioned in December, 2012. Its second wind power plant of 47.6 MW capacity at Jaisalmer in Rajasthan was commissioned in January last year. Both the plants are in operation.
