LM WIND POWER – Strategic Partner
ReGen Powertech Pvt Ltd and LM Wind Power Blades have a trade agreement to supply 40.3P2 WEC blades exclusively for ReGen. The broad understanding between the two companies is that ReGen would establish a manufacturing unit in North Western India wherein LM would produce in phases 300 to 350 sets of blades only for ReGen. ReGen plans to invest anywhere between 110 crores in the next 12 months to make the new facility available for the manufacture of 40.3 P blades from January 2012. LM 40.3 P2 blades will be used for ReGen’s proposed new wind turbine Venysys 87 – 1.5 MW. This WECs will be hightly efficient in low wind regimes prevalent in Northern, Western and North Western States of India.
This arrangement will ensure smoother supply of blades to meet the growing needs of ReGen in the years to come. ReGen would immensely benefit by the continuous R & D activities that will be carried out by LM as the proposed initiative will pave the way for interest to new blades that LM proposes to introduce in the next few years.
