Suzlon bags 68 WTGs installation order

Suzlon said it has secured a “significant” order for its 3 MW series of wind turbines from Serentica Renewables, a platform dedicated to decarbonization and driving the energy transition for energy-intensive industries.

The order entails the installation of 68 wind turbine generators (WTGs) with a Hybrid Lattice Tubular (HLT) tower, each with a rated capacity of 3 MW, for Serentica’s upcoming 204 MW wind power project in Koppal, Karnataka. The project is slated for commissioning in early 2024.

This marks the fifth order in less than a month for Suzlon’s 3 MW series, solidifying its position in the market. The company didn’t disclose the value of the order.

As part of the agreement, Suzlon will be responsible for equipment supply, including the wind turbines, as well as project execution, encompassing erection and commissioning. Additionally, the company will provide comprehensive operation and maintenance services once the project is operational.

Once operational, this sizable wind power project has the potential to provide electricity to approximately 168 thousand households and reduce approximately 6.63 lakh tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, contributing to India’s sustainable development goals.
