Gamesa in India
In recent years, India has emerged as one of the most promising wind power markets: installed capacity is expected to increase from close to 23,000 MW today to 40,000 MW by the end of 2019, driven by huge pent-up demand for electricity, according to sector consultancy BTM’s estimates.
The new orders secured by Gamesa in India – with some 500 MW locked in year-to-date – reinforce its solid commercial positioning: according to BTM, the company ended 2014 as the leading OEM in the country for the second year running, with a market share of 32% in 2014, compared to 21% in 2013.
Gamesa’s presence in India – as technology provider and wind farm developer – dates back to 2009. To date, it has installed close to 1,900 MW and services over 1,850 MW under O&M agreements. In addition, in its capacity as wind farm developer, it has developed over 1,300 MW.
