Project Description
NSL Renewable Power Private Limited (NRPPL), an existing IFC investee company (# 29912), is a subsidiary of NSL Group established for implementation of renewable power projects across the country. NRPPL intends to set up a wind power project of 75 MW in Chilarwadi village of Man Tehsil, Satara District of Maharashtra, India (the “Project”) through a subsidiary NSL Wind Power Company (Satara) Private Limited (“NSL Wind” or the “Company”). The Project will be implemented in two phases with 25.5 MW to be implemented in the first phase. Construction period for each phase is expected to be 6 months from start of construction. IFC is considering providing a loan to NSL Wind to part finance the Project.
The Project involves supply, erection, testing, commissioning, operation and maintenance of 50 wind turbines, with a unit generating capacity of 1.5MW to be supplied by ReGen under a supply, erection and commissioning contract with NSL Wind. Further, ReGen is also the O&M operator of this Project under an O&M contract with the Company. Transformers will be located near the turbine within an access controlled area. Underground cables will connect each turbine-transformer and overhead conductor will connect the transformer to the pooling substation. ReGen has constructed a 220 kV Transmission Line from Pooling Substation to the Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Limited (MSETCL), the state transmission utility’s interconnection point. The pooling sub-station, 220 kV T-Line and monitoring station will be shared with ReGen’s other existing and future projects for other project owners.
