 "Suzlon wins 81 MW turnkey orders for wind power projects")
The Suzlon Group has bagged orders for a combined capacity of 81.90 MW. The orders have been received from an assortment of customers representing SMEs across diverse industry segments including food and agro, textiles, chemical, real estate and engineering. It also includes a consecutive repeat order from the country’s first municipal corporation to invest in wind energy.
Suzlon will install its robust multi-megawatt S111 90m, S97 120m, S97 90m, and the S95 90m turbines with rated capacity of 2.1 MW each. Suzlon will provide a comprehensive range of services to build and maintain the wind projects, which include design, supply, installation, commissioning and dedicated life cycle asset management services. The projects are spread across the key wind states of Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, and are scheduled to be completed by FY17.
Ishwar Mangal, chief sales officer, Suzlon Group, said, “The order wins from our new and existing customers affirms our role as the preferred partner for end-to-end renewable energy solutions across industry sectors and across the country. We will continue to develop high yield products that effectively bring down the cost of energy. Suzlon is also committed to achieve the government target of 175GW by 2022.”
The consolidated order wins consist of more than 75% orders for the two new products, Suzlon’s next-generation wind turbines the S97 120m hybrid tower and the S111 90m. The S97 120m is the tallest all-steel hybrid tower (120 meter height) in the world and combines both lattice and tubular structures. The S97 120m prototype, set up in November 2014, at Kutch, Gujarat, achieved a plant load factor (PLF) of 35 percent, successfully generating 6.42 million kWh over the first 12 months of operation.
