BHEL has been manufacturing 250 Kwh Wind turbine generators at its Ranipet Unit in Tamil Nadu. As the sector moved into higher Kwh installations, the demand for 250 Kwh wind turbines came down, and hence BHEL, Ranipet unit stopped manufacture of 250 Kwh Wind turbine generators.
Considering the future potential of wind energy in India, BHEL plans to re-enter manufacture of wind turbines. Learning from past, the company plans to produce 1.5 MW to 2.0 MW class of wind turbine generators, which are in demand now. For this purpose, it will collaborate with a global major in Wind Turbines, which is likely to be finalized in a couple of months.
The Ranipet unit will use surplus fabrication capacity to manufacture nozzles and towers for wind turbine generators too. To start with, the company will import wind turbine blades. Meanwhile, it plans to invest Rs 30 to 40 crore to set up an exclusive wind turbine blade manufacturing unit at Ranipet, which will take a couple of years.
The company targets a turnover of Rs 500 crore per annum from Wind turbine generator business in a couple of years. It will not venture into setting up of wind farms, but will remain focused on manufacture, supply and erection of wind turbine generators.
The Ranipet unit will become fully integrated wind mill manufacturer in two years time. Oflate, many PSU companies have drawn up plans to set up wind farms. BHEL`s re-entry into wind turbine manufacture is to capture sizeable portion of this business.
