Gamesa has won an order to develop a 10MW solar project in India.

It will build four solar arrays in the state of Tamil Nadu, in the south east of the country.

The project is expected to be commissioned in September this year.

Ramesh Kymal, Gamesa’s CEO in India said: “This debut solar contract fits with the strategic goal enshrined in our 2015-2017 plan of exploring opportunities in businesses that complement the wind industry. The solar segment in India offers a potential of 750 GW and the local government target is to reach 100 GW in 2022 from 3.8 GW today.”
