Envision Energy India has announced the receipt of a 300 MW order from UPC Renewables India for the supply of 60 Wind Turbine Generators based on the EN 182 | 5 MW turbine platform. These high-capacity smart wind turbines will be deployed in upcoming renewable energy projects across Karnataka.
Agreements for the first 20 turbines, covering 100 MW of capacity, have already been finalized and deliveries are scheduled to begin early next year for power supply under the contract signed between UPC Renewables and SJVN, with delivery planned for January 2027. The complete fleet of 60 turbines is expected to generate around 900 million units of clean electricity annually, taking advantage of the strong monsoon wind profile and site-specific advantages in the Bijapur region.
The EN 182 | 5 MW platform features a 182-metre rotor and 140-metre hub height, designed for optimal performance in Indian terrain. Its proven record in high-growth markets across the MENA region, Southeast Asia, and China highlights its efficiency, providing over 40% higher annual energy output than the 3.3 MW platform while achieving one of the lowest Levelized Costs of Energy in its class. Additionally, the platform supports more efficient land use by minimizing land parcel requirements and easing right-of-way acquisition.
RPV Prasad, Managing Director of Envision Energy India Pvt Ltd., stated that the collaboration with UPC Renewables India represents a major milestone in accelerating India’s transition toward large-scale industrial decarbonization. He added that Envision remains committed to supporting customers with modern, safe, and reliable renewable energy technologies while prioritizing quality and a customer-centric approach.
Alok Nigam, CEO of UPC Renewables India, expressed enthusiasm as construction begins on the company’s first wind power project under its India platform. He highlighted that the commencement of the first 100 MW project is a pivotal step toward delivering more than 500 MW of wind capacity in Karnataka within the next three years and acknowledged Envision Energy India’s proven record of dependable execution.
