Suzlon will install 238 S111 140 metre wind turbines, with a rated capacity of 2.1 each, in the Kutch district in Gujarat. The company will deliver both the projects on a turnkey basis and will also provide comprehensive operations 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” said J.P. Chalasani, Group CEO, Suzlon Group. “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. 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”.
The S111 wind turbine generator (WTG) is the latest addition to Suzlon Group’s 2.1 MW platform and features the time tested Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) technology. It has a swept area of 9,852 square metres and is designed to optimally harness wind resources at higher altitudes, thereby increasing the viability of low wind locations.
