Renewable energy major Suzlon Group has announced that it has bagged a 226.8 MW wind power project from a leading independent power producer (IPP), to be executed in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh.
The order covers 108 units of S111 90m tubular tower with rated capacity of 2.1 MW each. The project is scheduled for completion by March 2017.
Suzlon has entered into an exclusive supply and installation agreement, including engineering and construction of the project. It will also be responsible for operation and maintenance services for the first 10 years.
The project has the potential to power up over 1,20,000 households and reduce 0.48 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum, it said in a statement.
Suzlon Group CEO JP Chalasani said: “The order win is a testament of increased interest and investments from independent power producers in the wind sector and we are confident that the demand from IPPs will continue to grow.
“We are working with most of the IPPs in India and they constitute over 80 per cent of our current order book. This order also reiterates the customer confidence in our technology, product portfolio, execution and life cycle asset management capabilities.”
Suzlon recently announced another major win of 105 MW from Axis Energy Group, to be executed in AP.
