Far East Energy has achieved remarkable results in installing EN156/3.3MW wind turbines in India. As of now, the cumulative installed capacity of this model of wind turbine in India has exceeded 2.5GW. India's goal is to achieve a wind power installed capacity of 100GW by 2030, which means that in the second half of this decade, India's average annual wind power installed capacity needs to reach about 10GW。Editor/Bian Wenjun
