Nimbagallu, Andhra Pradesh

The 100 MW Nimbagallu wind farm in Andhra Pradesh is a substantial boost to India's renewable energy market. This project, which covers 25 square kilometers and impacts seven villages, provides green energy to AP DISCOM under a long-term power purchase agreement. It uses 50 SGRE 2MW turbines with Doubly-Fed Induction Generator technology to generate 196.6 MUS and offset 157 MT of CO2 every year.

Faced with challenges such as site selection, regulatory permissions, and grid connectivity, the project progressed through meticulous planning and strong stakeholder participation. Community projects, such as RO plant installations, have received strong local support. The connection to the APTRANSCO 400/220 kV grid assures a stable power supply, which promotes regional growth and the creation of employment.

The Nimbagallu wind farm places a strong emphasis on environmental preservation and safety. It is recognized by the Indian Wind Power Association as a leader in the field of wind power. The project's operational excellence is highlighted by innovations, including the replacement of the coupler using in-house tools and improvements to the nose cone. This project not only demonstrates Tata Power Renewables' commitment to sustainability and community development, but it also fortifies Andhra Pradesh's electricity infrastructure.
