In 2012, we commenced EPC works for BoP on our own IPP projects and expanded these EPC services to other IPPs in 2014. Leveraging an in-house development approach, we maintain control over project design, execution timelines, and technology integration in our EPC for BoP projects. As part of these activities, we developed our first wind power project under the EPC for BoP model, a 22 MW project in Gujarat, which was commissioned in 2014. As of March 31, 2025, our EPC for BoP experience covers 11 wind power projects with an aggregate installed capacity of 399.10 MW, including six projects totaling to 203.20 MW for our own IPP portfolio and five other projects totaling to 195.90 MW for other IPPs in India.

This track record has strengthened our capabilities in delivering EPC services for BoP in wind power projects for our own portfolio and for other IPPs. Building on our EPC for BoP capabilities, we also offer comprehensive O&M services for BoP systems in wind power projects, across both our IPP portfolio and third-party IPP projects.

As of March 31, 2025, as part of our EPC business for BoP, we have developed the following wind power projects:

Our EPC business for BoP, including land-related services, comprises two wind power projects currently under construction for other IPPs in India, with a total definitive contract capacity of 435.60 MW. We have also received a letter of award for the BoP works of an additional 150 MW project. In addition, we are developing infrastructure for our clients including a 7.2 km, 400 kV transmission line, and a 220/400 kV substation.

ROAD & INFRASTRUCTURE

The windmill projects are generally constructed at isolated/remote locations, miles away from the suburbs. Therefore, quality approach roads to every windmill location is highly essential as the commute for people and machineries must be accessible for the project’s life-time duration of 25 years. Apart from the civil construction of the road, the in-house team also looks into other activities such route survey, acquiring Right of Way (RoW) for the entire life of the project and selection of a suitable contractor.

CIVIL FOUNDATION

Construction of civil foundation for windmills, as per wind turbine manufactures’ drawing, comes under our balance of plant (BoP) and hence our scope of work. Apart from civil foundation, there are several civil jobs involved in a wind project which are undertaken by Powerica’s civil team independently - transmission line foundation, base for transformer, bays, civil work involved in unit substation (USS) and substation building are a few of them.

ELECTRICAL CONSTRUCTION

The electrical components involved in a wind power project including pooling substation, unit substation, (external/internal) transmission line, control panel, CTPT and bays etc. are to be constructed as per design and standards that are outlined by the concerned State authority. Our experienced in-house electrical team independently undertakes all the activities involved in electrical construction starting from appointing vendors & contractors right until supply & erections.

SCADA

The windmills are required to be monitored remotely and uninterruptedly from a monitoring station through the SCADA (supervisory control and DATA acquisition) system. We facilitate SCADA network installations at the wind project sites, connecting all the windmills to the central monitoring system. We equip all the windmills with CCTV cameras and security personals for round the clock, 24x7 surveillance to ensure there is no physical damage to the windmills.
