Capturing the Wind. Engineering the Future. Delivering on Every Promise.
Wind energy is one of the most powerful, cost-effective, and scalable sources of renewable electricity available today. Across India — from the wind-rich states of Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Karnataka to emerging wind corridors across Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and beyond — the wind resource is abundant, consistent, and commercially compelling. For businesses, industries, and institutions with the right energy profile and the right partner, wind power offers something that few energy sources can match: large-scale, low-cost, clean electricity generation that runs around the clock, across seasons, and across decades.
The opportunity is significant. The technology is proven. And the financial case — for organisations that approach wind power with rigour, transparency, and a genuine long-term perspective — is among the most compelling in the entire renewable energy landscape.
The question, as always, is not whether wind power makes sense. It is who to trust to evaluate it honestly, design it precisely, execute it flawlessly, and operate it transparently for the full life of the asset.
At Truven Energy Private Limited, we bring together over 500 MW of collective renewable energy project experience, an uncompromising commitment to technical excellence, and a genuinely client-first culture to deliver wind power solutions that perform as promised — from the first wind resource assessment to the final year of operation and beyond.
We do not simply install wind turbines. We design, engineer, procure, construct, commission, and operate complete wind power systems — with the same rigour, transparency, and accountability applied at every single stage. Under one contract, with one project manager, and with one point of accountability, we handle every complexity of your wind project so you can focus entirely on your business.
What Is Wind Power EPC — And Why Does It Matter?
EPC — Engineering, Procurement, and Construction — in the context of wind power describes the comprehensive, end-to-end delivery of a wind energy project. From initial wind resource assessment and site feasibility through detailed engineering, turbine and balance-of-plant procurement, civil and electrical construction, grid connectivity, regulatory approvals, commissioning, and long-term operations and maintenance — a wind EPC contractor is responsible for every decision, every standard, and every outcome that determines how your wind asset performs across its 25-year-plus operational life.
Choosing the right wind EPC partner is the most consequential decision in a wind project. Wind projects are technically complex, capital-intensive, and long-lived. The difference between an EPC contractor who approaches your project with genuine technical rigour, transparent processes, and long-term accountability — and one who does not — is the difference between an asset that delivers on its financial projections for decades and one that persistently underperforms, generates disputes, and fails to realise the value it was meant to create.
At Truven Energy, our wind EPC service is built on four non-negotiable principles: technical precision, complete transparency, seamless delivery, and enduring accountability. These principles govern every phase of every project we undertake — without exception and without compromise.
No wind project should progress beyond conceptual evaluation without a rigorous, independent, and site-specific wind resource assessment. Wind energy generation is acutely sensitive to wind speed — the power available in the wind is proportional to the cube of wind speed, meaning that even modest differences in wind resource between sites translate into very large differences in energy output and financial performance. Getting the wind resource assessment right is not optional. It is the foundation on which every subsequent technical and financial decision in the project rests.
At Truven Energy, we conduct thorough, scientifically rigorous wind resource assessments — using the best available data, the most appropriate methodologies, and the most conservative assumptions — to give our clients an accurate, honest, and defensible picture of the wind energy potential at their proposed project site.
Wind Resource Data Collection and Analysis: We source and analyse long-term wind resource data for the proposed project site from multiple sources — including meteorological department records, satellite-derived wind atlases, reanalysis datasets, and, where appropriate, on-site measurement campaigns using calibrated anemometry equipment. We do not rely on a single data source or a single methodology. We triangulate across multiple datasets to build the most accurate possible picture of the wind resource at your site.
On-Site Wind Measurement Campaign: For projects where the available remote sensing and reanalysis data is insufficient to characterise the wind resource with the required confidence, we design and execute on-site wind measurement campaigns — installing calibrated cup anemometers, wind vanes, and temperature sensors at representative heights on a meteorological mast, and collecting at least 12 months of continuous, high-resolution wind data before proceeding to detailed energy yield assessment.
Wind Flow Modelling: We use industry-standard wind flow modelling software to simulate the spatial distribution of wind speed across the project site — accounting for terrain effects, surface roughness, obstacle wakes, and atmospheric stability. For complex terrain, we apply Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling to capture wind flow patterns that simpler models cannot adequately represent.
Energy Yield Assessment: We develop a comprehensive energy yield assessment for the proposed wind project — modelling gross energy production, applying all relevant loss factors (wake losses, availability losses, electrical losses, curtailment losses, and environmental losses), and deriving net energy production estimates at P50, P75, and P90 probability levels. Our energy yield assessments are prepared in accordance with leading international standards and are designed to be bankable — capable of supporting project financing by lenders and investors.
Site Feasibility Assessment: We evaluate the complete feasibility of the proposed project site — assessing land availability and tenure, grid connectivity options and costs, road access and logistics for turbine transportation, environmental and ecological sensitivities, aviation and radar constraints, and community and stakeholder considerations. We present our findings honestly — including any constraints that may affect project viability — so our clients can make fully informed decisions before committing to project development.
Financial Feasibility Analysis: We prepare a detailed financial model for the proposed wind project — incorporating capital cost estimates, energy yield projections, grid tariff comparisons, transmission and wheeling charge assessments, payback period analysis, net present value, and internal rate of return — to give our clients a complete and honest picture of the financial case for their wind investment before any development commitment is made.
Wind power projects are among the most technically demanding in the renewable energy sector. The scale of the equipment — wind turbines can stand over 150 metres tall, with rotor diameters exceeding 120 metres — and the dynamic, fatigue-driven nature of the loads they experience, demands engineering of the highest precision and rigour. The civil infrastructure required to support, access, and connect a wind farm involves complex geotechnical, structural, and electrical engineering across a large geographical area. And the electrical systems required to collect, transform, and export the generated power must be designed for reliability, efficiency, and long-term performance under demanding environmental conditions.
At Truven Energy, our detailed engineering team brings genuine depth of expertise to every aspect of wind project design — delivering engineering that is precise, practical, and optimised for long-term performance.
Wind Farm Layout Optimisation: We develop and optimise the wind turbine layout for your project — balancing energy yield maximisation against wake loss minimisation, land use efficiency, noise and shadow flicker impact management, grid connection constraints, and civil infrastructure requirements. Layout optimisation is an iterative process, with multiple candidate layouts evaluated against a comprehensive set of technical and environmental criteria before a final layout is confirmed.
Turbine Technical Specification: We develop detailed technical specifications for the wind turbines to be procured for your project — covering rated power, rotor diameter, hub height, power curve, design wind class, noise emission limits, grid compliance requirements, control system specifications, and warranty and availability guarantee terms. Our turbine specifications are developed independently of any preferred supplier relationship — ensuring that the turbines specified are genuinely optimal for your project’s wind resource, site conditions, and commercial objectives.
Foundation Design: Wind turbine foundations must withstand enormous static and dynamic loads over a 25-year-plus design life — and foundation failure is one of the most costly and disruptive problems that can affect a wind project. Our structural engineers design turbine foundations in accordance with site-specific geotechnical data, turbine load data provided by the turbine manufacturer, and applicable Indian and international structural design standards. Every foundation design is peer-reviewed and signed off by a qualified structural engineer.
Internal Electrical Network Design: We design the complete internal electrical network for the wind farm — including the inter-turbine cable network, collection substation design, power transformer specification, and metering arrangements — optimised for electrical efficiency, reliability, and maintainability.
Grid Connection Design: We design the grid connection infrastructure for your wind project — including the transmission line from the wind farm substation to the grid connection point, the grid connection switchgear, protection relay settings, and metering equipment — in coordination with the relevant transmission utility and in accordance with applicable grid code requirements.
SCADA and Monitoring System Design: We design a comprehensive SCADA and remote monitoring system for your wind farm — providing real-time visibility of turbine performance, equipment health, meteorological conditions, and key energy production metrics. Our wind farm SCADA systems are designed for reliability, data integrity, and ease of use — giving you and our O&M team the information needed to manage your asset optimally.
Access Road and Civil Infrastructure Design: We design the internal access road network, turbine hardstandings, cable trenching routes, and drainage infrastructure for your wind farm — optimised for construction logistics, long-term maintenance access, and environmental impact minimisation.
Environmental and Social Impact Assessment: We prepare comprehensive Environmental and Social Impact Assessments for wind projects — covering noise impact, shadow flicker, visual impact, ecological survey findings, bird and bat impact assessment, and community engagement outcomes — in accordance with regulatory requirements and international best practice standards.
Wind turbines are among the most complex and capital-intensive pieces of mechanical and electrical equipment in the energy industry. The procurement of wind turbines and balance-of-plant equipment — and the management of the supply chain that brings them to site — requires deep technical knowledge, rigorous vendor evaluation, and meticulous logistics management. It also requires complete independence from supplier commercial relationships — so that every recommendation made to the client is driven by technical merit and long-term value, not by procurement convenience or supplier incentives.
Technology-Agnostic Turbine Selection: We evaluate wind turbines from all leading global and domestic manufacturers against a comprehensive set of technical criteria — including power curve performance, capacity factor at the site’s specific wind speed distribution, design wind class suitability, availability guarantee level, noise emission compliance, grid compliance capability, O&M support infrastructure, spare parts availability, and manufacturer financial stability. We share our evaluation matrix and the rationale for our recommendation with clients in full — so every technology decision is made with complete transparency and informed consent.
Open-Book Procurement: All procurement under a Truven Energy wind project is conducted on an open-book basis. We share vendor quotations, comparative analyses, negotiated pricing, and commercial terms with our clients. There are no hidden procurement margins and no undisclosed supplier arrangements. You know exactly what is being purchased, from whom, at what cost, and why.
Balance of Plant Procurement: In addition to wind turbines, a wind project requires a substantial range of balance-of-plant equipment — including power transformers, medium-voltage switchgear, protection relays, cables, meteorological mast equipment, SCADA hardware, and civil materials. We apply the same rigorous, transparent vendor evaluation and open-book procurement approach to every balance-of-plant category.
Logistics and Heavy Transport Management: Wind turbine components — particularly tower sections, nacelles, and blades — are among the most challenging cargoes in the logistics industry. We manage the complete logistics chain for wind turbine delivery — including port handling, heavy abnormal road transport, route surveys, police escorts, and site offloading — with meticulous planning and coordination to ensure safe, on-schedule delivery to site.
Supplier Quality Assurance: We conduct factory acceptance testing and quality inspections at turbine manufacturing facilities and key equipment suppliers before despatch — verifying that all equipment meets the technical specifications agreed at procurement and the quality standards required for long-term, high-performance operation.
The civil infrastructure of a wind farm is extensive, technically demanding, and absolutely critical to the long-term safety and performance of the project. Turbine foundations, access roads, cable trenching, substation civil works, and site drainage must all be executed to the highest engineering standards — because civil deficiencies in a wind project are typically difficult and expensive to remediate once the turbines are installed and operating.
At Truven Energy, our civil construction teams are experienced, qualified, and supervised by senior civil engineers on every project. We apply rigorous quality assurance processes to every civil activity — with documented inspection and test records maintained for every critical construction milestone.
Access Road Construction: We design and construct the internal access road network for your wind farm — engineered to accommodate the exceptional loads and turning radii associated with wind turbine component transport, and built to a standard that provides reliable, all-weather maintenance access throughout the plant’s operational life.
Turbine Foundation Construction: We execute wind turbine foundations in strict accordance with structural design drawings and geotechnical specifications — with continuous quality supervision, concrete testing, reinforcement inspection, and embedded anchor bolt setting to the tolerances required by the turbine manufacturer. Foundation construction is one of the most quality-critical activities in a wind project, and we treat it accordingly.
Cable Trench Excavation and Backfilling: We execute inter-turbine cable trenching, bedding, cable laying, joint bays, and backfilling in accordance with cable routing drawings, civil specifications, and cable manufacturer installation requirements — with documented inspection records for every critical activity.
Substation Civil Works: We construct the wind farm collection substation — including building works, cable basements, transformer bunds, earthing installations, and security fencing — in accordance with civil and electrical design drawings and applicable Indian standards.
Turbine Hardstandings and Crane Pads: We construct turbine assembly areas and crane pads designed to accommodate the large cranes required for wind turbine erection — engineered for the ground bearing pressures associated with crawler cranes and mobile cranes during installation operations.
Site Drainage and Environmental Controls: We design and implement site drainage systems that manage surface water runoff effectively during and after construction — minimising erosion, protecting watercourses, and complying with environmental permit conditions.
Wind turbine erection is among the most technically specialised and safety-critical activities in renewable energy project construction. The erection of tower sections, nacelles, and blades using large cranes at height requires meticulous planning, highly skilled and experienced installation teams, and rigorous safety management — in conditions that are frequently challenging due to the very wind resource that makes the site attractive in the first place.
At Truven Energy, we manage wind turbine erection with the highest level of technical competence and safety discipline — working in close coordination with the turbine manufacturer’s installation supervision team to ensure that every turbine is erected and mechanically commissioned in full compliance with the manufacturer’s installation manual and quality requirements.
Our turbine erection scope includes:
Wind projects in India require a comprehensive set of regulatory approvals and grid connectivity agreements — from state and central government authorities, from the Central Electricity Authority, from state electricity regulatory commissions, from transmission utilities, and from distribution companies. The regulatory pathway for a wind project is complex, multi-layered, and highly consequential: delays or errors in the approvals process can set a project back by months or years.
Truven Energy’s regulatory team has deep, current expertise in wind project approvals across India — and manages every aspect of the regulatory process on behalf of our clients, from initial application preparation to final commissioning certification.
Our wind project regulatory support includes:
A wind farm is a long-life asset operating in a demanding environment — subject to continuous mechanical loads, fatigue cycles, lightning strikes, temperature extremes, and the natural wear of complex rotating machinery. The long-term performance of a wind project — and the financial returns it generates — depends critically on the quality of its operations and maintenance programme.
At Truven Energy, we are as committed to the performance of your wind asset after commissioning as we are during its construction. Our wind O&M service is designed to maximise turbine availability, minimise downtime, optimise energy yield, and provide our clients with complete, transparent visibility of their asset’s health and performance — throughout its operational life.
Maximum long-term financial returns: As the asset owner, you capture the full financial benefit of every unit of energy generated — with no tariff payments to a third-party plant owner reducing your net savings.
Accelerated depreciation: Wind power plants qualify for accelerated depreciation under Indian tax law — providing a material tax benefit in the early years of plant operation and substantially improving the after-tax return on your investment.
Complete ownership and control: You own the asset outright. Every operational decision is yours. There are no contractual obligations to a third-party owner, no tariff escalation clauses, and no restrictions on how you manage or monetise your energy infrastructure.
Highest lifetime ROI: For clients with available capital, the CAPEX model delivers the highest lifetime return on investment of any commercial wind energy structure — with well-sited wind projects capable of delivering payback periods of 5 to 8 years and operating lives of 25 years or more.
REC revenue potential: As the owner of a renewable energy generating asset, you are eligible to register for and trade Renewable Energy Certificates — providing an additional revenue stream above and beyond the electricity cost savings.
Energy price certainty: Once installed, your wind generation costs are fixed — providing a long-term hedge against grid tariff escalation that is increasingly valuable as conventional electricity prices continue to rise.
ESG and sustainability credentials: Owning a wind farm is one of the most tangible and credible demonstrations of an organisation’s commitment to sustainability — relevant to investors, customers, regulators, and employees alike.
Zero capital investment: All capital, financing, and asset ownership costs are borne by Truven Energy or its financing partners. You invest nothing in the wind plant.
Immediate cost savings: Your contracted wind energy tariff is set below your current grid electricity cost — delivering energy savings from the first day of plant operation.
No technology or performance risk: Truven Energy owns the plant and is contractually responsible for its performance. Underperformance risk is borne by us, not you.
No operational complexity: All operations, maintenance, scheduling, and regulatory compliance for the wind asset is managed entirely by Truven Energy. You have no maintenance obligations, no operational staffing requirements, and no regulatory burden associated with the plant.
Long-term cost predictability: Your wind energy tariff is fixed or subject to a pre-agreed, transparent escalation mechanism — providing energy cost certainty that is not available from conventional grid supply.
Immediate sustainability impact: From commissioning, you are consuming certified renewable wind energy — contributing to your sustainability targets and ESG commitments without any capital deployment.
Alignment of interest: Because we own the plant, our financial returns depend on its performance — meaning our O&M standards and our commitment to maximising generation are entirely aligned with your interest in receiving the energy volumes you have contracted for.
Significantly lower energy costs: Wind power consumed through the Group Captive Open Access model is typically priced substantially below conventional grid supply — reflecting the low cost of wind generation and the more favourable open access charge structure applicable to captive consumption.
Regulatory benefits of captive status: Entities meeting the regulatory criteria for captive consumption benefit from lower open access charges than third-party open access consumers — improving the overall economics of the arrangement and the competitiveness of the wind power tariff.
Shared capital investment: The capital cost of the wind plant is shared across participating entities — reducing individual investment requirements while enabling access to a larger, more cost-effective plant than any single entity could justify independently.
Long-term energy cost certainty: Once commissioned and registered, the Group Captive arrangement provides stable, predictable energy costs protected from grid tariff escalation for the life of the asset.
Collective sustainability and ESG impact: Participating entities jointly demonstrate a meaningful, measurable commitment to renewable energy — relevant to investors, customers, supply chain partners, and regulators.
Renewable Purchase Obligation compliance: Wind energy consumed through a Group Captive arrangement counts towards the Renewable Purchase Obligations of participating entities — providing regulatory compliance value in addition to cost savings.
No land or on-site space required: The wind farm is located at the optimal generation site — which is frequently far from the client’s consumption centre. No client land, site, or space is required.
Zero capital investment: The client purchases energy, not an asset. All capital investment, development costs, and asset ownership obligations are borne by Truven Energy or its financing partners.
Below-grid energy tariffs: Wind energy purchased under a Third Party Open Access PPA is typically priced significantly below conventional grid supply — delivering immediate and sustained energy cost savings from commissioning.
Access to large-scale, high-quality wind generation: Remotely located wind farms in India’s best wind resource areas generate energy at a lower cost per unit than smaller, less optimally sited installations — passing on the benefit of scale and resource quality to the client.
Scalability: The Third Party Open Access model can be structured to supply any volume of wind energy required by the client — making it suitable for even the largest industrial energy consumers.
Immediate and measurable sustainability impact: From commissioning, the client is consuming certified renewable wind energy at scale — making a genuine, measurable contribution to their decarbonisation and sustainability objectives.
No operational complexity: Truven Energy manages the complete generation, scheduling, banking, and settlement process. The client simply consumes the energy and benefits from the lower tariff.
