Renewable energy developer Juniper Green Energy has commissioned 82 MW of wind power capacity in Gujarat, including the deployment of one of the country’s largest onshore wind turbines, marking another milestone in its expanding renewable energy portfolio.
The newly commissioned capacity forms part of the company’s wind projects in Devbhumi Dwarka district, a key wind energy hub in Gujarat. The commissioning includes advanced high-capacity turbines designed to improve energy generation efficiency and optimize land utilization compared with earlier generations of wind technology.
A notable feature of the project is the installation of a 4.2 MW wind turbine equipped with a 182-metre rotor diameter, among the largest wind turbine configurations deployed in India to date. The larger rotor sweep enables higher energy capture, particularly in low and medium wind regimes, improving project economics and annual energy output.
The commissioning contributes to Juniper Green Energy’s broader renewable energy expansion strategy in Gujarat, where the company has been rapidly adding solar, wind and hybrid generation assets. Earlier this month, the company announced the commissioning of more than 305 MW of renewable energy capacity in the state, comprising both solar and wind projects developed under power purchase agreements with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL).
The latest addition reflects a growing trend in India’s wind sector towards larger and more efficient turbine platforms. Developers are increasingly adopting high-capacity turbines with larger rotor diameters and taller hub heights to maximize generation and improve project viability, particularly as the industry moves towards utility-scale deployments and hybrid renewable energy projects.
Juniper Green Energy has emerged as one of the country’s fastest-growing renewable energy developers, with a portfolio spanning solar, wind, hybrid and firm-dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE) projects. The company continues to expand its operational and under-construction capacity as India accelerates its transition towards cleaner sources of power generation.
The commissioning of the 82 MW wind capacity further strengthens Gujarat’s position as a leading renewable energy state and underscores the increasing role of next-generation wind turbine technology in supporting India’s clean energy ambitions.
