Suzlon Group subsidiary REpower Systems SE has bagged an Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract from Mitsui & Co (Australia) Ltd to deliver 52 wind turbines with a total rated output of 106.6 MW for Bald Hills wind farm in Victoria, Australia.
The turbines are to be delivered in Q2 2014, and to be commissioned a year later. They are expected to produce up to 380,000 MWh of electricity per year, enough to power over 62,000 homes.
The contract, first with Mitsui and the largest full-turnkey contract for REpower in Australia to date, is combined with a service contract for the next 10 years, with a further five year option.
The Suzlon Energy stock gained nearly 7% to Rs 9.76 on the BSE in morning trade.
Andreas Nauen, CEO, REpower, “This is a milestone for our business in Australia. We now look forward to delivering the Bald Hills Wind Farm in collaboration with Mitsui.”
