Envision Energy India has announced a significant partnership with Juniper Green Energy, securing an order for the supply of 200 EN 182 5MW wind turbine generators (WTGs) and its first-ever 320MWh battery energy storage systems (BESS). This collaboration signals a major milestone in the Indian renewable energy sector.
A New Era for Wind Power in India
The 200 turbines will be spread across multiple projects, involving state and central auctions. Specifically designed for India’s wind conditions, the turbine features a rotor diameter of 182m and a hub height of 140m. Envision’s 5MW turbine platform is already successful in regions such as MENA, Southeast Asia, and China.

The turbines offer enhanced performance. They have an annual energy output increase of more than 40% compared to the existing 3.3MW platforms. Additionally, they promise the lowest levelised cost of energy. This makes them them an ideal choice for large scale renewable energy projects in India.
Envision’s Groundbreaking Battery Storage System
In addition to the wind turbines, the agreement includes the supply of Envision’s 320MWh BESS, which will be integrated into a Firm Dispatchable Renewable Energy project. This marks Envision’s first entry into the energy storage market in India. The storage system uses high-safety, high-performance lithium-ion 315Ah cells and is powered by a 3.45MW power conversion system (PCS). It will be managed by an AI-powered energy management system, providing highly efficient and secure energy storage solutions.
Enhancing India’s Green Energy Capacity
This partnership with Juniper Green Energy will help address some of the challenges in renewable energy project development, such as land acquisition. By utilizing fewer land parcels, the wind turbines and energy storage systems offer a more streamlined process.
Juniper Green Energy’s CEO expressed confidence in the collaboration’s potential. He mentioned that this order builds on their earlier 300MW agreement and will help them achieve their goal of 10GW renewable energy capacity by 2030.
Envision Energy India is committed to advancing India’s energy transition with this strategic collaboration. The company’s Managing Director emphasized their focus on delivering optimal energy solutions while prioritizing safety and quality.
