On Jan. 8, (Nantou, Taiwain) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with (Gujarat, India), officially initiating a partnership to build India’s first recyclable wind farm.
On the basis of the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), India is striving to achieve its goal of reaching 140 gigawatts (GW) of installed wind power capacity by 2030. Thus, this project will further support the rapid growth of India’s wind energy sector.
Adani Wind and Swancor plan to complete the required certification by Q2 2025. Swancor will conduct all necessary testing according to the qualification plan provided by Adani Wind. Upon successful testing, Adani Wind will obtain certification from accredited agencies. The adoption of Swancor’s recyclable epoxy resin technology for manufacturing environmentally friendly, recyclable wind turbine blades is scheduled to commence in Q4 2025.
“We are honored to collaborate with Adani Group to realize India’s first large-scale commercial recyclable wind power plant,” Aden Tsai, CEO of Swancor, says. Tsai expresses his gratitude to Milind Kulkarni, Adani’s business head.
This partnership is just the beginning of a long-term relationship. In the future, Adani and Swancor will build upon this foundation to further expand the scale of cooperation, planning to jointly establish the largest recyclable wind farm in Asia.
