Suzlon bags 180.6 MW energy project from Sembcorp's Green Infra Wind Energy

Renewable energy solution provider Suzlon Energy on Tuesday said that it has won an order to set up 180.6 MW wind energy project from Sembcorp's arm Green Infra Wind Energy Ltd. "Suzlon Group, India's largest renewable energy solutions provider, today announced a new order win for the development of a 180.6 MW wind power project for Sembcorp's renewables subsidiary Green Infra Wind Energy Limited," a BSE filing said. Suzlon will install 86 Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) with a Hybrid Lattice Tubular (HLT) tower and a rated capacity of 2.1 MW each. The project is located at Kanakagiribad, Bagalkot in Karnataka, and is expected to be commissioned in 2024. Suzlon will supply the wind turbines (equipment supply) and execute the project, including erection and commissioning. Suzlon will also provide comprehensive operation and maintenance services after commissioning of the project. This order is part of the bid won under the SECI (Solar Energy Corporation of India) tranche XI auctions

India's solar, wind energy potential likely to dip due to climate change

Solar and wind potential in India are likely to face a negative trend in the future due to climate change, according to a new study by Pune-based Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology. The researchers used state-of-the-art climate models devised by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to analyse the wind and solar projections for the renewable energy sector over the Indian subcontinent. The seasonal and annual wind speed is likely to decrease over North India and increase along South India. The southern coast of Odisha and the southern Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu show promising potential for wind energy in the climate change scenario, said the study titled 'Analysis of future wind and solar potential over India using climate models'. The study was published in the peer-reviewed journal Current Science recently. Regional analysis of wind potential indicates that the frequency of high energy producing wind speeds will decrease, whereas low energy
