Suzlon’s long commitment and leadership in green energy in India aligns with our vision of mitigating climate change by empowering businesses with clean energy solutions.”

Suzlon 3 MW Series

Suzlon says its 3 MW turbines feature a 144‐meter rotor diameter and are designed to unlock low wind sites and deliver improved energy yield suitable for all Indian wind regimes. The firm adds that the S144 wind turbine generator is one of the largest in India, extendable up to 3.15 MW, depending on site wind conditions, and available at a hub height of 140 meters going up to 160 meters by its serial launch. At 160 meters hub height, the S144 will also be India’s tallest wind turbine, maintains Suzlon.

As per the firm, its S144 fleet will deliver 40‐43% higher generation than Suzlon’s current model, the S120 – 2.1 MW wind turbine, to optimize wind resources at higher altitudes and make varied wind sites viable.
