Suzlon Gets 145 MW Wind Turbine Order from Aditya Birla Group

India’s wind energy giant Suzlon Group has announced through a regulatory filing that the company has secured a fresh order from the Aditya Birla Group for the development of a 144.9 Megawatt (MW) wind energy project.

Suzlon has not declared the value of the new deal in the filing.

Suzlon, a renewable energy solution provider, held that the Aditya Birla Group’s wind power project will be developed in different sites in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. As per Suzlon, the project is expected to be commissioned next year.

Suzlon told the National Stock Exchange that it will be installing 69 units of wind turbine generators with a hybrid lattice tubular (HLT) tower. It held that the capacity of each turbine is 2.1 MW. The company claims that 70-80 per cent of the content used in the making of its turbines is domestically sourced.

Suzlon also mentioned that a wind energy project of this size can supply the electricity needs of 94,000 households and arrest 3.72 lakh tonnes of carbon dioxide emission every year.

Vinod R Tanti, Chairman and Managing Director, Suzlon Group, said, “We are a mature and professional organisation with highly-empowered management and operations teams that aim to run and grow the business. I am hopeful that we will continue to enjoy the goodwill of our customers and partners and fulfil their expectations going forward.”

Girish Tanti, Suzlon Executive Vice-Chairman, stated that power produced in these wind projects will go into captive use for their manufacturing and other needs thereby helping to create a sustainable and Aatmanirbhar Bharat.

The Pune-based RE giant announced in September that it won a new order for the development of a 180.6 MW wind power project for Green Infra Wind Energy Limited, which is a renewable energy subsidiary of Sembcorp. Suzlon will install 86 wind turbines under the order.

Suzlon is present in 17 countries as of now with a cumulative global installation of over 19.4 GW of wind capacity.
