 "Indian Oil awards wind energy project contract to Suzlon")
Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), having business interests spanning the entire hydrocarbon value-chain, has awarded a turnkey contract of 48.30 MW wind power project to Suzlon Group. Located in the districts of Jaisalmer and Jodhpur, Rajasthan, the project is scheduled for completion by March 2017. Suzlon will provide comprehensive operation and maintenance for an initial period of 10 years.
Ishwar Mangal, chief sales officer, Suzlon Group, said, “Yet another order from Indian Oil Corporation Limited is a testimony of our customer confidence in our technology which helps us partner with the nation’s leading PSUs in their transition to sustainable energy architecture. With our next generation technology, we continue to fulfil the growing demands of electricity.”
The IOCL project, which has the potential to provide power to 26,000 households and reduce 0.10 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum, consists of 11 units of S97 120m all-steel hybrid tower and 12 units of S97 90m tubular tower with rated capacity of 2.1 MW each.
Suzlon is credited with developing one of the country’s largest wind park in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, with installations of over 1,100 MW. As on March 2015, Rajasthan’s total wind installations stood at 3,307 MW out of which about 1,569 MW has been contributed by Suzlon.
Suzlon will fulfil the IOCL project with products from its S9X series, specially designed for the Indian terrain, and delivering higher energy yield. The S97 90m hub height wind turbine generator features the time tested Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) technology which is designed to optimally harness available wind resources. “It not only delivers higher energy yield, but also offers higher return on investment for customers,” said Suzlon in the press release on March 30, 2016.
