Siemens Gamesa has signed a contract with AM Green Energy Private Limited (AMGEPL), a joint venture of ArcelorMittal S.A. and ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India Limited (AM/NS India), for the supply of wind turbines for a hybrid wind-solar project in Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh.

An agreement that meets the needs of Arcelor Mittal and the Andhra Pradesh region

This 989 MW project will enable AM/NS India to meet 20% of its electricity needs with renewable energy and reduce its carbon emissions by 1.5 million tons annually. The wind turbines will be manufactured at Siemens Gamesa ‘s Indian plants and delivery will begin in the second quarter of 2023.

The Andhra Pradesh government aims to promote the export of renewable energy from the state. This project is in line with its renewable energy export policy for solar, wind and hybrid projects.
