Suzlon wins two wind power projects of 300 MW and 200 MW each under SECI bid

Suzlon Group has won two projects of 300 MW and 200 MW each for development of wind power projects. India’s largest renewable energy solutions provider will install 238 units of S111 140m wind turbine generators (WTGs) with rated capacity of 2.1 MW each. The renewable energy company will execute both the projects, which will be located at Kutch district in Gujarat, on a turnkey basis and will also provide comprehensive operation and maintenance services. 
 
“The two projects totalling 500 MW order is a testament to the customer’s confidence in our technologically advanced and innovative products and services. There is an increased interest from all customer segments to invest in renewable energy in their pursuit of contributing towards mitigating risks of climate change and providing affordable and renewable power for all," said JP Chalasani, Group CEO, Suzlon Group, after winning the projects. 
 
"With the introduction of the bidding regime, the industry is poised to grow to 8-10 GW annually. We are committed to partner with our customers to scale it up further and enable India’s transition from conventional fuel dominated energy architecture to renewable energy sources," Chalasani added. 
 
The group CEO further said, "Suzlon has more than two decades of experience in the wind sector and is the custodian of more than 11 GW wind assets across India.

The S111 wind turbine generator (WTG) is the latest addition to the 2.1 MW platform and features the time tested Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) technology. With a swept area of 9,852 sq. metre, the S111 140m is designed to optimally harness wind resources at higher altitudes making low wind sites viable.
