Suzlon Group, a renewable energy solutions provider, on Thursday announced that the company has received an order for the development of a 31.5 megawatts (MW) wind power project for Integrum Energy Infrastructure Private Limited.

Suzlon will install 15 units of S120 – 140m wind turbine generators (WTGs) with a hybrid lattice tubular (HLT) tower and a rated capacity of 2.1 MW each in Maharashtra and Karnataka, the company said in a press release.

The project includes supply, installation, and commissioning. Additionally, Suzlon will offer post‐commissioning operation and maintenance services.
