Suzlon has been awarded a 1166MW turbine order from NTPC Green Energy, the renewables arm of India’s largest energy conglomerate NTPC.
The transaction includes the installation of 370 machines from the S144 platform which will be installed on Hybrid Lattice Tubular (HLT) towers.
Each turbine will have a rated capacity of 3.15MW each.
The hardware will be install at two project sites of NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of NGEL) and one project site of IndianOil NTPC Green Energy, a group company of NGEL, in the state of Gujarat.
This win takes Suzlon’s largest-ever cumulative order book close to 5GW as of 3 September 2024.
Suzlon Group vice chairman Girish Tanti said: “We are delighted to partner with NTPC Green Energy Limited, the renewables arm of India largest utility NTPC Limited, in our capacity as the nation’s premier Wind Energy OEM.
“This landmark collaboration reaffirms our commitment to accelerating India’s renewable energy transition.
“Notably, this marks our first direct wind energy order from NGEL, signalling Suzlon’s triumphant return to the PSU 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.
“Upon completion, 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.”
As part of the agreement, Suzlon will supply the turbines (equipment supply) and execute the project, including erection and commissioning, in Gujarat as well as undertake operations and maintenance services post-commissioning.
