EAI’s Wind B2B Division Can Provide Expert Assistance for Buying and Selling Wind Farms
Wind power has been the flag bearer for the Indian renewable energy sector for over 2 decades. While the new comer, solar, is hogging the limelight, wind power sector continues to grow.
As of December 2013, the total installed capacity for wind power in India has exceeded 20,00o MW. This is indeed an achievement to be appreciated.
True, the last couple of years have not been memorable for wind power in terms of growth, but industry captains expect acceleration in to resume soon with favourable government policies on the anvil.
The main states that contribute to this installed capacity are:
Our specialty focus areas include
- Tamil Nadu
- Gujarat
- Maharashtra
- Rajasthan
- Madhya Pradesh
As the wind industry is fast reaching maturity, it has seen increasing participation from Independent Power Producers (IPPs), who typically operate on much larger scales than the individual investors who dominated the earlier phases.
Many of these IPPs are looking for fast growth. They are thus looking at both organic growth (putting up new power plants) as well as inorganic growth (acquiring existing wind power assets). In the last six months, these acquisitions have become frequent.
At the same time, many incumbent investors in wind farms are looking for exits.
To assist both the buyers and sellers, EAI’s B2B division has formed a special team.
If you are an IPP keen on purchasing wind power assets or if you are a wind power project owner looking at divesting your assets, EAI Wind B2B team can be of critical assistance.
EAI can work on behalf of the seller or the buyer for a particular transaction.
