India sets a net zero objective for 2070 by capitalizing its huge Onshore wind potential of 1TW
India sets a net zero objective for 2070 by capitalizing its huge Onshore wind potential of 1TW – more than Spain, France and Italy combined
On 6th July 2023, India has already reached more than 40 GW of installed onshore wind capacity, making it the world’s fourth largest market in terms of installed wind capacity.
Sarenswill be a key partner in the consecution of this ambitious objective thanks to its advanced fleet of cranes and SPMTs and its high quality and safety standards.
Recent ground investigations indicate that India has a gigantic gross wind potential of 302 GW at 100 meters and 695.50 GW at 120 meters above ground level, a total of almost 1TW in the next years. In this context of opportunity, this country has decided to bet heavily on onshore wind energy to help with the goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2070 thanks to its vast expanse of land with high potential for harnessing wind power.
The construction of the wind structures needed to boost energy generation requires advanced machinery and precise workmanship. Sarens, world leader in heavy lifting, engineered transport and crane rental services, continues to consolidate its position as a reference player for the global wind industry, offering a comprehensive solution in the case of onshore wind farms, by providing integral TCI (Transport, Crane and Installation) services and factory to foundation solutions, as well as marshalling, which is a competitive advantage for the development of any project, regardless of its magnitude.
Nowadays, after more than three decades of investing in the development of harnessing wind technology for power generation, India’s wind power generation capacity has increased considerably in recent years. They already have almost 43 GW of installed onshore wind capacity, which is mainly spread across the southern, western and northwestern states. This makes the country the world’s fourth largest market for installed wind capacity, only behind China, the United States and Germany.
However, this figure is still far short of India’s ambitious target of 140 GW (of which 30 GW will be offshore wind) of installed wind power capacity by 2030. The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has estimated that wind power will account for 17.13% (140 GW) of installed capacity by 2029-2030 to ensure an optimal generation capacity mix.
There are currently more than 100 onshore wind farm facilities active in India. The following stand out for being the most significant ones: Muppandal wind farm, the largest operational onshore wind farm in India, located in Tamil Nadu. It has an installed capacity of 1,500 MW, making it the third largest operational onshore wind farm in the world; Jaisalmer wind farm, which is the second largest wind farm in India and the fourth largest operational onshore wind farm in the world. This project is located in Jaisalmer district, Rajasthan, in western India; and Brahmanvel, located in Maharashtra, with 40MW of power generation.
Sarens has participated in the construction and maintenance projects of some of the Onshore Wind plants in India, demonstrating its commitment to a greener planet and more sustainable energy generation, working together with companies such as Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions, GE Wind Energy or Inox Wind, performing performed transport, crane and installation works.In India, Sarens has taken part of key importance projects such as the 1.5 GW wind farm in Muppandal, Tamil Nadu and the 1.1 GW project in Jaisalmer, Rajastha.
Sarens is also currently participating in some of the most important projects in the world, such as Saint-Nazaire in France, Provence Grand Large. Those works demonstrate how important is having specialists able to ensure the viability of the project and minimize cost reductions. Sarens will continue putting its efforts to provide companies and public institutions with the necessary tools to enable the wind industry to continue to expand.

Multiverse Computing, Iberdrola partner to use quantum computing optimization to green up power grids
The largest quantum computing company in the EU is working with a global leader in clean energy to solve complex optimization problems such as battery placement on smart grids
SAN SEBASTIÁN, SPAIN, July 7, 2023 – Multiverse Computing, a global leader in value-based quantum computing solutions, today announced a joint project with multinational clean energy firm Iberdrola to modernize electrical grids and facilitate additional green energy sources.
Because electrical grids are integrating increasing amounts of renewable generation, electric vehicles and other distributed energy resources, supplemental batteries are playing a vital role. i-DE, Iberdrola’s distributor in Spain and a leader in smart grids, will work with Multiverse Computing to select the optimal number, type and locations of supplemental batteries for the electrical grid.
Many variables must be considered when determining battery placement within smart grids, such as connections with neighboring power systems, flexibility in existing generation sources, and the hourly, daily, and seasonal changes in power demands. Multiverse’s quantum algorithm experts will use quantum and quantum-inspired algorithms to solve these computationally complex problems, which classical computers cannot manage.
The two companies will work together for 10 months as part of the Gipuzkoa Quantum Program in the Basque Country of Spain, a quantum computing hub and smart grid innovation center.
In the U.S., Multiverse’s optimization solutions are primed to help solar and wind installations in cities and states make some of the same improvements. Grid batteries are especially helpful with green energy sources as batteries can store energy at peak generation times and store it for use during peak demand.
In addition to changes in the mix of energy sources, electric companies are facing new operating requirements. Connecticut, Illinois, North Carolina and Washington recently instituted performance-based regulation of utilities, and Hawaii already has this type of regulation in place. This new trend in regulation shifts the model away from profits driven by return on capital investments and moves it to a model based on delivering affordable, reliable, and clean power.
“Our quantum optimization algorithms could help utilities meet new requirements aiming to align utility profit motives with environmental goals, including decarbonization and resilience,” said Enrique Lizaso Olmos, CEO of Multiverse Computing.
