Suzlon achieves 10 GW installed wind energy milestone in India

Wind turbine maker Suzlon Group today said that it has achieved 10,000 megawatt (MW) cumulative wind energy installations in India.
"Suzlon's 10,000 MW of wind installation is capable of powering over 5 million households per annum and offsets 21.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission annually which is equivalent to planting over 1,500 million trees," the company said in a statement.
According to the statement, with cumulative wind energy installations of over 15,500 MW worldwide, Suzlon operates across 17 countries and has over 1700 customers across the globe.
Suzlon Group Chairman and Managing Director Tulsi Tanti said, "We remain committed to enable the government in achieving its target of 40 per cent renewable energy by 2030. We have established a multi-pronged strategy that covers continuous R&D and innovation in design, manufacturing and O&M services."

Suzlon will focus on continuous R&D to harness technology and reduce Levelised Cost of Energy (LCoE) by increasing Plant Load Factor (PLF) and making low wind sites viable, it added.
