By GlobalData“This landmark collaboration reaffirms our commitment to accelerating India’s renewable energy transition. Notably, this marks our first direct wind energy order from NGEL, signaling Suzlon’s triumphant return to the PSU [public sector undertakings] customer segment.
“This project will emerge as the largest wind energy initiative by a PSU in Gujarat, cementing the state’s leadership in renewable energy.
“It will set a new benchmark for future projects, substantially contributing to India’s energy self-sufficiency, economic prosperity, and NGEL’s ambitious target of adding 60GW renewable energy capacity by 2032.”
The order brings Suzlon’s cumulative order book close to 5GW as of 3 September 2024.
Suzlon Group CEO JP Chalasani stated: “Both NGEL and Suzlon are stalwarts in their domains and will play a fundamental role in enabling India’s energy transition. Achieving India’s energy transition targets hinges on participation from utilities of the scale and expertise of NGEL.
“While it is India’s largest wind energy order, this project is also the first of many more such transformative projects between the two in the future. We are committed to delivering this project with exceptional quality and within the stipulated timelines.
“This strategic collaboration, featuring our flagship product – the S144,3.15MW wind turbine – is set to become a landmark case study in the sector, showcasing the success of the ‘Make in India’ initiative by advancing local manufacturing and sustainable energy solutions.”
In May 2024, Suzlon Group secured 402MW in wind energy orders from Juniper Green Energy for a site in Fatehgarh in the state of Rajasthan.
